Not installing new bushings..it's a new bike, It's a road glide..why would I tilt the inner fairing back and forth?

My bad.... I have an Ultra Limited and did not pay attention to what bike you were doing. That being said, I think you will regret not changing the riser bushings as the stock ones are rubber and they recommend that you switch to Poly. They are much firmer then the stock ones. HD sells them for $49. I was not going to change mine either but once you feel them with the new bars, you may change your mind.
