Default Bar install

Going to be putting 14" strip bars on my 11 FXDWG . Wanted to make sure I have everything I need before starting.

Todds 1 1/4 14" strip bars
Alloy art 2" risers
Burly 14" cable kit
Joker knurled grips
Joker vii mirrors
Turn signal fork brackets

Service manual
Mc floor jack
Torque wrench

Am I missing anything. Anything that I should get to make this easier?

Sorry for the ignorance but what are strip bars. Yes, I realize they are a type of handlebar...

6-pack at the very least! Some spare hands might help, of course that means more beer!

Poly bushings absorb more of the vibration over the stock bushings. I got the "Good N' Tight" ones from Alloy Art on jpcycles.

Actually, I think the nay sayers for poly bushings will say it transmits more vibrations as its a stiffer compound than the stock rubber ones but I have no issues with the vibes. The poly ones will stop the bars from moving back and forward in the risers and the HD branded ones work and are not that expensive. The taller tha bars, more leverage is transmitted. I eventually went to solid aluminum bushings when I had 18".
