Handle Bar Bushings
Getting ready to swap my stock bars out with a set of Paul Yaffe 10" Monkey bagger bars. The last time I did a bar swap I changed the stock bushings to a poly material bushing. This was in 2006 and my mechanic recommended it. I'm not in contact with him anymore so I'll ask here. I have a 2015 Ultra with about 16,000 miles on it. Besides the exhaust and tuner it's stock. Advise will be appreciated.

I'm about to install some LA Choppers Twin Peaks 12" on my 2018 SGS and have some Arlen ness Polyu bushings on the ready as well. I figured midas well when I have it all apart.
Good luck.

When I used the Arlen Ness bushings on a recent bar job, I used a 2.25" bolt to replace the stock ones. Probably not necessary, but made me feel better.

I'm just seeing this. The bushings when in great and the stock bolt was good. I was able to get a good bite on the risers. It should be ok.
