10" Apes, Replace Riser Bushings?
Hey All, G'Morning,
I'll be putting 10" apes on my '18 Low Rider. Should I put in solid riser bushings or will I be ok at that height sticking with the stock rubber? Thanks!

Put the HD poly ones on mine. Thought I would get a lot of vibration thru them but don't work great.

You can get by with stock, but good Poly bushings would be MUCH better and they are not expensive. When I installed Yaffe 10 Inch Monkey Bars I bought Drag Specialties Poly Bushings for like $25.00.
At first you will feel more vibration through the bars. But after a while it becomes normal and you don't even notice it.
