Riser bushings
Im looking for recommendations for replacement riser bushings for my FXRS. Been running some kind of Urethane for years. Definitely solid feeling, no wiggle in the handlebars whatsoever. Dont know who madeem. Getting more vibrations in the mirrors & grips at high rpms than Id like and would like to know if theres anything out there these days to help reduce that. Different Urethane compounds..? I dunno.
thanks.
thanks.

If you're running short bars and the poly bushings are too harsh then you could go back to OE rubber bushings. Poly is always going to be more vibration than rubber since it is stiffer, but if running tall bars poly or solids are much safer than rubber

Thanks Jake. Ive run Urethane for so long, I dont know if OEM rubbers are even still available. I have the original Buckhorn style bars, on 4 risers. Im wondering if ALL Urethane bushings are the same compound, or if some are more resilient than others. The Urethanes I have on her now are quite aged, and definitely rock solid
no flex whatsoever.

rubber bushings are available from aftermarket. I think they are all the same for 39mm or 35mm if an older FXR. I doubt I still have any laying around as I would just toss them since I usually run solids and taller bars but if I come across a set while cleaning my garage this weekend you can have them
