I have them on my Dyna. I don't notice any difference but I have wondered if you might catch a bit more vibration in the hands due to them being more solid.

Very noticable difference, especially if you have apes (or even mini apes). The stock rubber ones allow for some flex and with the taller bars, it is a lot of flex. The poly bushings are solid and hold the bars very rigid. I have not noticed any significant increase in vibration in the hand grips with the poly bushings either.

Really!? It is my understanding they are supposed to DAMPEN the vibration. I thought that was the whole point of them...

I replaced mine with a set and they make a world of difference in the stability of the bars. The rubber bushings are okay for the stock apes, but after putting them on my 14" Gimps with 4" risers, I would even go as far as saying that I would change them for the stock bars too. I have not noticed any more vibration over the rubber bushings and would recommend them to anyone.

I actually used a set from my friends custom chopper that he swapped for my rubber bushings. Cost $0. But, I think you can order a set for a few bucks less than the MOCO charges.

Made all the difference in the world going to the poly bushings. You won't regret it. Got rid of that mushy feel to the bars.

I put on some Good 'n Tites back in February and I say . . .GET 'EM!!!!! I replaced my 1" mini apes with the fat ones and while I was at it, I replaced the stock rubber bushings with these. I could press straight forward and pull straight back and get some significant movement in the bars. With these bushings, that mushy feeling is gone and I just feel more connected. Seems like there should be more vibration, but I couldn't tell the difference when I changed. A GREAT product in my opinion.

I was advised by my guy at the shop to get them if I don't want my 16s to move back and forth. (they do with pressure) I think I'll do it with my 5000 service.
