Question about riser bushings
I'm getting ready to add 4 1/2" pullback risers on my stock 07 FXDC bars. I was thinking of using poly bushings but saw a set of solid riser bushings. Any pro's or con's going with one over the other?

With just 4-1/2" of rise, the stock rubber ones should do fine, they did for me. It was when going taller yet that caused me to go with polyurethane bushings, I just bought the $10 J&P's #5000021.

Oh, and I wouldn't get solid bushings, that is if you want your mirrors to be usefull. Just use the softest bushings that you can get away with, in your case, try the stock ones first. They aren't hard to change later by loosening them both, undoing one side, replace bushings, reinstall bolt, do other side.
