Default Pro-one Triple Trees Riser Bushings.. too Mushy !

Hi All,
I know a few guys here have had Pro-One Triple trees, I have the black one with integrated signals.

My problem is after installing My Bars, the Friggin Risers are very rubbery at the base of the Trees.

These Trees come with their own proprietary bushings which is not as 'solid' as we would want them ?.

Short of 'making new ones on a lathe' , what did you guys use ?

ProOne require their own bushings, would they make them for pro-one triple trees ?

I don't know. Give Alloy Art a call.

I am guessing they sent me a defective set. Or maybe the chubby 1 width puts more leverage on them.

Haven't noticed any issues with mine, seem to be more solid than the stockers. You have the offset risers though, so they might be putting substantially more torsional force on the bushings than my shorty 1.5" risers.

Unless alloy art makes the Gooden Tite's specifically for the pro one trees, the standard ones won't fit. AFAIK, the pro one bushings are the only ones that will work with their trees. You could modify the Gooden Tite's to work with a little time and some good ol' redneck ingenuity!

Bike is lookin killer BTW! Coming along quite nicely, can't wait to see some pics on the ground and in the sunlight!
