Default Poly Handlebar Bushing Recommendations

As the title states...any recommendations on poly handlebar bushings? Have ordered Khrome Werks 10" Bobber Bagger bars for my 12 FLHTCU and will be changing them up next week. May as well put the poly bushings in while it's torn down. Are any better than others or all perform about the same? See a range of $12 - $50 + on eBay but most are in the $20 - $30 range.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks so much for the offer just plain john...much appreciated! Unfortunately I'm in Canada and the shipping/customs/brokerage will most likely be more than the bushings are worth. Hoping to find some locally. Thx again!

I rolled with the HD bushings. Worked great with 16's. No movement at all.

I used Arlen Ness on my Limited and Drag Specialties on my SGS ................. I liked the Ness better, seem to be a bit firmer which appeals to me. No difference in vibration between the 2 or at least I can't tell it.
