As far as bushings go I used the Arlen Ness on my first bars. When I traded bikes and transferred the bars over I used the ones from Harley. I liked the Arlen Ness better. The Harley bushings seem to give a little more than the Ness did.

What model bike?
If ABS I would go and buy a large syringe and clear plastic line so you can reverse bleed the brakes from the wheel end. If you install a new line and bleed from the master cylinder down you will get air in your ABS module and it will then have to go to your local dealer to get the DigitalTech machine plugged in.
Also I didn't have to lean the bike over or loosen the exhaust. I just drained the oil out, cut down the allen key and was able to get clutch cable sorted that way.

And no you don't have to loosen the exhaust but it makes it easier and why would you drain fluids if you don't have to. To each his own.

polyurethane bushings are stiffer than stock rubber, so when you extend the bars and thus the amount of leverage, you won't have any wiggle at the grips.

Bleeding ABS lines in the normal fashion does not mean you will get air in the ABS module. The key is not turning the key on until your done bleeding the brake line.
