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.

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

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.
