Default Handlebar install

Ok, I spent the better part of the day yesterday installing new bars, I got the new Carlini clean sweaps on the bike and all the chrome housings and brackets. The only thing I don't like is that where the risers attach to the bike it looks like something is missing, because the bushings show right under the risers. Isn't there something I could install under the risers to cover up the bushings?

Yep, cruise the J&P catalog. There are "caps" you can get.

Also try the H/D store. I ran into the same oversight and Harley offers bushings with chrome caps. The bushing material is said to be better, don't know. Carlini offers them as well.

I left the bushings stock on my Buffalo Ape install but I think Drag Specialities sells a chrome bushing. It was $75 for the bushing at my Indy shop.
