I put the HD ones on my WG and it definitely stiffen up the bars seem to get a lot more vibrations though. But the cornering feels more solid because the bars are not moving around so much. Helps with a passenger who keeps sliding forward into you during those quick stops that we need to do regularly because the cages are not paying attention.

You can't go wrong with poly bushings.

Since the poly bushings don't really absorb the vibes you might even look at the solid mount.

Get the polys or solid mounts. I've got polys w short risers and 18" bars. I dont notice any vibration, possibly because the length of the bars. I can see shorter bars buzzing more.

Poly bushings..... if you get too much vibration later, you can always add weight to the ends of your bars... changes the mass and therefore the 'resonant' frequency at which the bars will vibrate.
