Yep... Sure did!! Came to the house just today!! I went with a custom leather solo from C&C. Talk about comfort!! Makes my Danny Gray 2-up feel like sitting on a 2x6!! Just need my tins and new backing plate for my side mounted plate... And I'll be IN THE WIND again!!! And be able to post a ride report.

All I know is if they were really "extreme duty" one would think they'd be a TON stiffer than what they were. My 5 year old OEM bushings were stiffer than these. Seriously!!
I spun up a set of solids and may try those after I get my ride running again. But for now, I have the H-D poly busings installed and they were a HUGE improvement over the Carlini bushings. I'd say more than 75% of the flex was eliminated.
The Carlini bushings would be just fine for low bar/short riser configurations. But for apes... Let's just say there are MUCH better choices out there.

It wouldnt really matter if I run mine on the top or the bottom. I still cant see anything out of them. They are too small to see anything except the lights behind me at night. THey are Arlen Ness mirrors.
