I'm currently going through a handlebar swap on my '08 Street Bob. I've already purchased the 10" murdock pullback and tracker bars. I know I'll be replacing the upper triple tree, but running into a question I can't seem to get a clean answer on.

If I get an upper triple tree that isn't cut for bushings (like this one) https://www.lowbrowcustoms.com/lowbr...fxdl-fxdc.html , would this be the same as essentially running solid riser bushings? It makes sense in my head, but that's usually when I get into trouble...

Reading, it seems that solid riser bushings are the route I'm going to take. Would the lowbrow option be my best bet, or should I get the V-Twin 24-0924 OEM replacement (cut for bushings)


Appreciate any help.

 

Personally I'd like some sort of isolatiion for my risers so its not metal on metal. You can get plenty of different types of bushing in varying levels of squish.

Another option for a triple tree change is these I ran them on my 2010 street bob and really noticed the increased rigidity in the front end.
