I have 12" PYO monkey bars and poly bushings. I get quite a bit of bar shake when I first crank up the bike but that calms down once things warm up and smooth out. while riding there is a very positive feel to the bars without the added flex of the rubber mounts with the extra leverage of the longer bars. I have sat on a couple bikes that the dealer has done without the poly bushings and you can bend the bars forward and backward almost an inch. that just doesn't make me confident that under hard braking you wouldn't bang the bars into the fairing.

I love mine and would highly recommend them.
