Got some new riser bushings, do I need to remove the triple tree chromed covers? I am lazy lol

 

Not sure either,,,, me too..

 

You're a mechanic, are you not? It will most likely be easier if you remove the back covers, but maybe it can be done without taking them off.

 

looks like there is enough room there, yes I am a lazy mechanic lol

 

I had the back covers off mine. Just be careful not to smack the tank with a wrench.

 

Very good advice lol, dun ask how I know.

 

Don't tighten em' up too much either..............

 

how easy or difficult is it to change the bushings? details please.

 

I did mine while changing the bars so my front end was pretty torn down already.

I believe all you have to do is remove the 2 bolts on the side tins on the fork and 1 bolt on each of the back tins and you will have access to the bottom riser bolts.

Remove these bolts and the bars lift off. Then take a screwdriver to push out the old bushings, put new ones on and reassemble

 

I changed mine earlier this week. SUPER easy! Turn the bars all the way to the right to do the left, then turn hard left to do the right. I did one side at a time. Swing the bars outta the way enough to pull the rubbers out. I didn't pull the covers off. Careful not to bang a ratchet into the tank!
