Default Joker Machine Risers

Hey Guys,

My bars finally came in and I am waiting on my cable kit to start the install. With the cable kit will be my risers, Joker Machine 2 inchers. I have two questions for the guys running them, or anyone with knowledge of them.

1) Can I use the stock riser bolts from my night train. I don't know what they look like yet because I haven't had them off.

2) I did not order bushings yet, can I use any bushings with these risers?

I appreciate any input, as I prepare to tackle my project within the weekend.

You can use the stock riser bolts. You can use any poly bushings...

J/M says to use two 1/2 in. x 13 bolts, i'm guessing these are the ones that are standard for HD? It won't matter that I have six inch risers, the bolts are universal right? Like I said, I haven't taken it apart yet so I don't know what I am looking at yet.

And Drew, the Burly 16'' kit will work with the Gorilla bar right? It says to use it with the narrow apes, but I ordered the Gorilla bar in black instead.

Your stock bolts will work. I've used mine on 6", 8", 1 3/4", and now I am putting them on 2" risers. I liked my 1 3/4 risers but Wild 1 says that I need to use a one piece riser clamp so I am changing them.
