If you've had to rebuild your forks and needed to replace the lower fork bushing, you know they are unavailable. You probably also know that the 86 Tri-Z bushing are back ordered (fancy way of saying discontinued).
Well, after much searching around, I found that Harley use a 39mm Showa as well. Their fiche shows it as unavailable as well. Drag Specialties offers replacements and put in a OEM part number in the "fine print"... I called the local Harley dealer and voila! Part No. (removed) for all of $8 ea!!!!
EDIT: Turns out the Harley bushings are slightly thinner. CB650, CX650, some shadows and GLs use 39mm forks too. Searched the fiches and found a Honda part that fits: 51415-463-003
