well it is time.... any recomendations for riser bushings or should i go with the aftermarkt ones HD sells?

 

you know i'm gonna tell yah to keep them rubber

 

The HD riser bushings are China junk, had them for a week, threw them in the trash, I replaced them with Alloy Art poly bushings, probably never have to replace them again.

 

i do agree with "kjkustoms", though....if you do decide on poly (and i don't understand why anyone really would) do not get the harley ones...they are junk!

 

Why not poly bushings?

 

i have to go polly, wiht my 2.5 risers and the 15 in apes there is just way to much play with rubber...

 

I went with these poly bushings.

with polys, you lose apparent flexibility but gain a **** load of vibration ....with rubber, you lose vibration but gain flexibility ......this can't be denied

 

just a side question are the risers supposed to be loose in the triple trees to&nbsp\\;the point&nbsp\\;that you can &nbsp\\;move the handle bars back and forth&nbsp\\;so much that the bars are crooked because mine are????&nbsp\\;

 

hockey I think the bolts going up through the risers need to be torqued to 30-40 ft-lbs. I'd get it checked out, sounds like a saftey issue if they are loose.
