Default poly bushings

I am installing a CCE top tree I put some drag specialty poly bushings in this past spring and they where a little deformed when I pulled them apart today I need new ones, I bought some of the alloy art red ones with the aluminum washers and they are a little longer than the stock sleeve and bushings about a 1/8 inch, I put them on and they suck way too much movement I could move them at least inch each way on my grips. anyone try the gooden tight by alloy art or do I go back to the black drag polys. what brand is everyone using.

I like the stock bushings- they work better for the vibrations as I have carpal tunnel.

I did the HD poly riser bushings, too, when I installed my Yaffe Apes.

Well I bought a set of the HD polys they sure are easy to install not like the alloy art but they move just as much as the red alloy art ones what are you torquing the bolts too I don't have that in my manual they left that out of it, someone said 40 lbs is what I am torqued at

stock spec is 30 to 40.

I have always started at the low range, then increased torque while feeling the vibrations- then stop when the vibrations are the least
