Default HELP with handelbars!

installing 14 inch monkey bars on 07 street glide.. should i replace my riser bushings? the bike has 12,500 miles and it seems like they're pretty stiff but did change them on my heritage when put apes on (it was an obvious difference) but wondering if same goes for the touring class. thanks

hear you, thanks. luckily i orderd them.. i did hear someone say if you use 1 1/4 inch bars that the polyurethane bushings will push the bars up enough to where they will push on bottom of fairing where the head unit lies. any truth to this?
