Default Tbars riser bushings?

I did some searching and still unsure. What's the best riser bushings set up on a 07 street Bob with 12" tbars? Solid or poly and what brand?

The poly bushings seem to be popular but I've always used solid bushings, I've never noticed any increase in vibrations in the bars or mirrors with solids. These are the chrome solids I've been using, you can get them on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/CHROME-HANDL...-/252062577528

You can see them in this image:

Have solids now, and have no issues with them. I bought some poly bushings; just have not installed them yet.

When I ran tbars I used the stock rubber bushings. No problems with them.

I run the Alloy Art Gooden Tight Poly Riser Bushings on mine. They great and are completely flush on the bottom. Looks lot cleaner than the stock bolts that stick out.

Thanks for the input. I was wondering if the poly would be stiff enough. I don't want to feel any flex. And if the solid would cause issues over time from vibration

Seriously, if you do not want any flexing or motion in the bars and risers go with the solids... I went to solids years ago for a reason

I have poly bushings but got new LA Choppers solid angled at 10 degrees. Can get T-bars closer(t-rex hands) or further (orangutan hands) . No feedback yet
