Only used Knurled apehangers, and if they still slip many guys will use a center punch and "peen" the inside of their risers for additional gripping power. I dont believe in using damper bushings on anything taller than 12 inch bars either. Solid mounts or damping slugs I prefer over bushings when the bars are this tall. You cannot push your bike around with tall bars when you are in hilly areas, because once your bars slip even with knurlings they will never grip as good again. I am sure many guys will post feedback on this topic for you.

Well one set of apes I had i even drimmeled the risers to add friction and they still slipped sometimes. What I did was I took a garden hose cut four pieces to go on top and bottom on each riser to add alittle more tightness and grip to them, it worked for me. Alittle southern rigging will go along way

Also you can get a small ball bearing and drill a small indent in the middle of the triple tree then place ball bearing in that and bolt up as normal, this should hold them tight
