Talking Replaced riser bushings.

Holy cow, what a difference! Replaced the stock bushings with some Drag Specialty urethane ones and the bars are rock solid and it just has such a better feel, especially slow speed cornering. I don't "feel" any more vibration, but the mirrors are a tiny bit more fuzzy. 10.00 to my door off ebay from route 66 motorsports, 10 minutes of my time, money well spent!

I bought the stock replacements and snugged them up and they feel much better now. I wonder how old the original ones actually are when installed at the factory, mine were all cracky within the first year.
