I've been putting those red BK rider bushings in every bike I've owned for maybe the last ten years. They take the slop out of the handlebars but aren't too stiff like the old aftermarket solid aluminum riser bushings.

Need to get new ones when I put my Glide back together, just know they won't be the marshmallows that Harley put on it. Had over an inch of motion in those bars. Gonna hold off a purchase till this thread runs a while, thanks Denny.

I paid $13 for my red ones and they had the chrome washers. Very nice!
