Great advise from the guys that replied. I just did a test fit to check for cable length and could definitely feel the flex with the stock rubber bushings. I ordered Arlen Ness polyethylene from Revzilla. Had 'em in about 3 days, about $25, haven't gotten around to putting them in yet.

Great advice here !! I agree . I will definitely be ordering the poly bushings before I do my install ...

Question : Are you upgrading your top clamp as well ? I see that some of the newer top clamps have set screws which helps lock the bar in place . These bar clamps seem to be a little more beefier as well . Think I'm going that route too . It couldn't hurt .

 

I don't think so, the stock Low Rider clamp is pretty dang beefy. Matter of fact, I had to give the new bars a pretty hard rap to get them out of the lower clamp, it was a pretty tight fit.

 

I got these polyurethane bushings from Amazon last week and they really tightened things up. $15 delivered.

 

I may just have to wait and see , If the stock one does the trick then it's not worth the $$$ to upgrade . Easy enough to change if the stock one isn't up to par . I'll just do the bushings for now .
