Which Poly Riser Bushings?

They are all nearly the same thing, so look around. I got a set off evil-bay for under $15 with free shipping and they fit and work perfectly. You can always get the chrome bits later if the ones you get don't come with them.
So you don't outsmart yourself find out how much the washers are by themselves and go from there.

These are very nice. If I rode an FX these would be my choice also. With an FL though you cannot see the riser bolts.

As long as they fit even remotely snugly, they should do fine. Tightening the bolts actually squeezes them making them wider and tighter.
I have heard of some that were very tight fitting, but if you use a little bit of liquid soap on them they should go in. If they are still a little stubborn it may be because they are cocking to one side a little. One way to make sure they go in all the way is to get hold of a long threaded bolt the same size as the bolts used for the bars, a nut and a pair of washers. Put the bushings in place with the bolt, a washer, the bushings, the other washer, and the nut. With the bolt and bushings assembled in that order it should be a simple matter to use the bolt like a cheap press to align and insert them in the top tree.
Odds are they will go right in without a problem, but I find its easier to be prepared for possible problems than be forced to scramble around looking for a fix in a hurry later.
