Riser bushings needed?
If I am going from the riser/speedo combo on the 06 Custom model, do I need to get a set of riser bushings?
Here is what I may get:

You should be able to use the bushings you already have..
the only thing I would be concerned with is what your going to do with all the wires that are in the original riser..
(Nice riser though)

NP.. and if you do decide to get some new bushings get some from JP.. here is what I paid there..
Merchandise Total : 11.99
Shipping / Handling : 7.99
Order Services : 0.00
HANDLING FEE : 1.75
-------------
Total Order Charges : 21.73
5000021 1 - 11.99
POLYURETH RISER BUSHING 4PK
But then again.. if they have them cheaper than $22 at the HD Stealer.. then I would just get them their and you don't have to worry about waiting on them to come in.

What da...?
I thought all Sportster handlebar risers were solid mounted since '04. Am I missing something?
I did see a write-up somewhere about what you need to do to graft a pre-'04 upper triple clamp onto an '04 and up so that the handlebars become rubber isolated (bushings). No idea where I came across that..

My 05 1200C has no bushings, solid mount.
Changed to an 03 straight riser and different speedo mount and it bolted right up.
The upper tree is not counterbored for bushings, unless the bushing kit is custom made for it to work with different risers.
