Riser bushings(mush)

Just replaced my stripped out risers and installed polyurethane bushings. Got rid of the mushy feeling. Feels good now!

Did the same thing when I installed my Apes. Nice and solid but my mirrors vibrate a bit.

Getting rid of the stock bushings has to be one of the best/cheapest "fixes" there is to make the bars feel better, might even make it handle better.
Mike,
I didn't have the vibration (mirrors) either before or after putting them in. Wonder if its got something to do with the height of your apes.

I've got 16"ers on my bike and when I switched to poly bushings I also had a better more stable feeling. Putting on the poly's definitely made it better.
