So I have interference on the new bars with the tops of my fork legs. There are spikes on the bottom of the crossbar. Anyone have experience with these or something like it? https://www.jpcycles.com/product/405...for-1-1-4-bars

definitely go with poly bushings over stock! Big difference for little cost.

Solid.., even polys have give

Course a lot depends on how you ride - most wouldn't... or couldn't tell the difference

^ Agreed. I have extremely short and stiff bars with solid bushings. The rubber bushings were FAAR too soft. The solids are, obviously, solid and IMO don't introduce any objectionable vibration. Of course, individual circumstance and tolerance will vary. Solids for me.

Possibly some interesting info for some ... Sportsters don't even have provisions for bushings at all since the introduction of Rubber Mounted Engines in 2004 ... Just a Through Hole for the bolt.

Ended up going with these, https://thespeedmerchant.net/product...iser-bushings/ guys there were super helpful, shipping was fast, price was fair and they are nice! Just had to order 1" longer bolts for my riser extensions and they fit perfect.
