risers twisting
Put 8" risers and iron bars on my Dyna and replaced the bushings with heavy duty urethane ones and when I'm pushing my bike around the risers keep twisting sideways. Do I need to change them to solid mount?

when I went to 8's then 9.5's even with poly bushings mine would twist at times. I swapped to solids but the vibes were too much to deal with so I put the polys back in. If I twist em a little while turning or pushing the bike i just twist em back. no biggie

I was gonna ask how bad the vibration was with solids on long highway rides. I guess you answered my question. What about half poly half solid? Poly on the bottom solid on top? Anybody wanna trade half their solid for half my poly?

Geez...these are soft mount motors, yea they shake at idle, over 2500rpms they smooth out. Just lock down the risers solid and deal with it.
I see people that come on this forum all the time saying they made this change and that change, but now have a problem. Duh! Ya think!!!/???
If it moves anchor it down...........
