Our host PY probably has stock replacement bushings...
You can also try Kanter Auto or get some Poly/graphite ones from PST. At leats I got front lower control poly bushings for my 60 from PST ... Going to try for rears next....

Ram Air Resto sells all four rear control arms. I have there uppers with one of the last sets of Indian Adventures lowers made.
Buy the Ram Air Resto units and be done with it. I went all through boxing, replacing bushings, then trying to tack in the loose (junk) bushings Kanter sold me for my stock control arms. Then having my car torque steer because of weak rear control arms! Buy the Ram Airs........................... http://www.ramairrestoration.com/catalog/ |

Got my polyurethane rear bushings from Ames. Not sure if PY sells them or not. I also had BOP Engineering make me a set of custom upper adjustable and lower tubular control arms. I didn't know that RamAir had them available...
