Default 2008 FLHX swingarm bushings

I have a 2008 SG. The swingarm bushing were riding on the frame in the rounded part towards rear. The new one do not touch there.

Question is, should the bushing be up against the frame?

If you are talking about the rubber donuts under the bolt that has 2 7/16 bolts holding it in place then the answer is no..

That location doesn't make any difference whether it touches or not. .
