Default Low Rider S Handlebars sanity check

Looking at picking up the short stock risers and flat bar used on the Low Rider S to swap onto my 19 FXLR - This bar is 1 1/4", but appears to neck down properly for the smaller 1" grips used on the FXLR (am I correct on 1"? I'm pretty certain yes, but again, sanity check). They are a throttle by wire bar, so there should be no issue there. And the low rise should be perfectly fine with cables.

So, the question is, can anyone think of something I'm missing that would preclude me from just doing a stock for stock swap? Is there anything in the riser installation that I'm overlooking? I keep hearing about riser bushings but I'll admit to not being extremely familiar with what they are doing.

LRS bars will work fine. Bushings are recessed in the top triple tree and are used to absorb some vibration. Most remove the squishy rubber bushings and replace with polyurethane versions. Your HD dealer parts counter sells rebranded Alloy Art Gooden Tight poly bushings, which are some of the best out there. Change them. You’ll appreciate it.
