Default Springer Owners-anyone use Wild 1 Chubby Stubby Springer Risers?

I'm tired of having to re-tighten my top clamps every couple of months. I'm keeping my stock bars, but am interested in replacing the stock risers with the Chubby Stubby risers from Wild 1. Has anyone used these specific risers on your Springer? What's your opinion? Is it a simple swap-out?

I'm not interested in any kind of rigging to make the stock risers perform better. Im only interested in changing them for an after-market item.

Do they have rubber isolators? If not, you'll have more vibration.

I just mounted some on my 2011 crossbones this past Saturday.

It's about as easy a swap as you can get and they are rock solid. I found them on amazon for about $185 or so and I couldn't be happier.

Thanks guys! To what Flying Burrito Brother said, do they have rubber isolators, and is the vibration worse than the stock set up? This sounds easy and it seems like a good product, so I'll go ahead and order them.

There are no rubber isolators. I haven't had much chance to ride since putting mine on so I can't really comment on the vibration as of the moment.

My stock springer risers didn't have bushings. Neither do the risers I have from Carlini and I havent had any problems with vibrations below 75 mph

I ordered the set today and just got an email that they're on their way! Also, while I was in a spending mood, I ordered a Ginz sissy bar..... Old School Bar Hopper in gloss black. Rigid mount.
