Should I heat treat ?
How are they any different than the rubber bushings in automotive spring
shackles, shock absorbers, sway bars?

If these are replacing rubber bushings I don't see the need to heat
treat. However you may want to consider polyurethane bushings as a
replacement, like the off-roaders 4 wheelers use.

These bushing assemblies attach the front of the swingarm (rear fork ,
to some) to the pivot shaft . This shaft attaches to the frame , and also
supports the rear of the engine/transmission assembly . This is an 800
pound touring motorcycle ... and those composite bushing assemblies are
quite a bit more complicated than a "rubber bushing" .
