Default Thumbs up to this mod!!!

Installed poly bushings in place of the stock handle bar bushings and wonder why I rode 5mins with them. Huge improvement and about 1/2 a beer job.

These are next on my list, just wondering what the general consensus is on which ones to go with. I've read some do not like the ones from drag specialties.

I tried the ones from DS they fit terribly. I swapped out to HD ones this winter. Tightened up the bars. i cant wait to try them as soon as the snow stops.

Head service guy recommended them to me when i told him I was fitting apes, said they were a lot better than stock with high bars, having said that my apes still came loose, scary ****.
