Handlebar bushings

My '98 Electra Glides have too much vibration in the handlebars. One side of the bar shakes more than the other side...pretty good clue the bushings are worn. Heck, they are ten years old with a bunch of miles on them anyways.

Well, I was looking to replace them....several different brands out there. I know stock works alright....but was wondering which aftermarket bushings may be better. The Gooden Tight Polyurethane bushings sound good.....said they were also made in USA and I like that. The stock one is probably made in China just like the stock front motor mount...which is made in China.

Suggestions........

IMO, they are a huge improvement over stock. Were recommended to me by a very respected Tech, and he's never steered me wrong. Once you get a set in your hands, and compare them to stock, you'll immediately see the advantage of this superior product.

Good luck!
