I added the solid bushings last weekend and i can say there is def no more mushy feeling in the bars...i also didnt notice any real increase in vibrations from it.

My Bushings went within 3 months of riding my new Wide Glide from the dealer. There was some serious play in the handle bars. Guy sat on mine and went out and we sat on a show room floor WG was like yup thats an issue. They asked if i wanted the Poly ones installed instead and told me they would only charge me the difference in price between the regular ones. During my 1K service the next week they just installed them and said not to worry about paying for it.

Figured they raped me enough on the service!!!

I just had new tires,grips and poly bushings put in about a month ago. the service guy came out to where I was and asked if I wanted the stock bushings for 10$ or the poly for 40$. man,that was the ticket. my bars are a lot stiffer and the control I feel is much better.

Just installed these with my new Switchback risers. Rubber bushings were practically brand new but I would be changing these out down the road, so... Honestly can`t tell a difference because I`m using my OEM pullback bars, not some tall apes. Love the looks of the new risers though!

Definitely worth doing. I think my bars vibrate quite a bit more at idle, but I don't notice it at all when riding.
