Try googling urethane riser bushings . That's what I did , I found them for 14 dollars . Torque them to 38-40 ft/lb .

I just went the easy way and got them at the HD dealer. It sure wasn't the cheapest way though.

Zanotti can't be beat, IMHO. I've heard that these bushings reduce vibration, but also cause the handlebars to buzz. Any experience with buzzing handlebars after installing the bushings?

Got mine from the dealer they were a little more than you can find them for on-line but they were in my hand and were not outrageously priced. Worked well reduced the play and did not seem to add any vibration. No buzzing either.

Doesn't reduce vibration at all. What they do is make the bars / risers stiffer in the trees. You may experience slightly more vibrations through the grips with poly bushings but it's not bad.
