I just got some poly bushings also, So the torque stays the same for them ? I thought a while back, I read on here or another forum that the torque is different for poly bushings, Does anyone know for sure ?

I have the solid steel ones on mine- you get a bit more vibration, but it's tolerable. there is absolutely no movement at all.

Glad to see this thread. Apes were already on bike when I bought it ( I love garage queens!) and I was wondering about amount of play in bars. Just ordered from Dennis Kirk - weekend project.
Thanx to all.

Is it necessary to get the whole riser bushing kit ($26-$40), or just the poly bushings for ~$12 like this one:? http://www.ebay.com/itm/310655762250

I had problems with the Drag Specialities bushings being undersized in the triple tree holes
