RE: Dumb Polyurethane Bushing question...
They definitely don't look like to OEM rubber ones. The thing I noticed most was a little more
noticeable vibration in the bars and it's so minute, I don't notice it anymore. Maybe it was my

Thanks, Doug - I sent an ebay email to the seller (Hill Country Custom Cycles) asking to confirm what they sent me.
They are from Midwest Cycle Supply. I checked their online website/catalog, and there is no mention whatsoever of these being polyurethane. Hopefully Hill Country does the right thing...

Just got the "Polyurethane Bushings" I ordered off ebay in the mail today:
ebay item
They don't appear to be any different than my stock ones. Is the difference immediately noticeable? Did they send me regular rubber ones?

They were somewhat translucent,and I thought one piece.
Hopefully, some others will chime in and confirm for you. Looks can be deceiving.

I checked your link to ebay. They do say they are black, and as stated they should be noticeably harder. I bought mine from HD, locally.

I think there are a number of applications. Mine were Arlen Ness, black, 2-piece. As like yours, noticeably harder out of the package and no play in the bars after installation. Mine were part of a flush mount kit supplied by Ness.

RE: Dumb Polyurethane Bushing question...
Thanks for the responses. I'll make a run to HD tomorrow (not that I ever need an excuse) and compare the ones I got with the HD version. All I know is these look like the rubber ones, feel like the rubber ones, and feel as soft and pliable as the rubber ones. If it looks like a duck...
