I was just about to suggest exactly what WFA posted.
I had to trim my riser bolts when I went with the 1.5" Carlini Boob risers.

Not all bushings created equal. Apes or any of the heavier bars gonna need a heavy duty poly. Torqued to specs there should be a minimum amount of play on the bars via bushings when you put a force on them.
