Default $46 for polyurethane handlebar bushings???

Is the stealership out to lunch, seems stupid high, am I wrong? Is this what they cost?

Looking on ebay, at worst they are half of the stealer price including shipping. I am a shop local kinda guy but this seems like way to much money for some polyurethane.

Looks like you answered your own question. The cheapest places to buy parts are online, used, swap meets, craigslist, ebay, etc. The most expensive is the dealer.

Try Hill Country Customs, I got mine for like $12. If I didnt pack them in storage I would mail them to you. Not sure if you need stock or if aftermarket would work.

Yes but my worry is that the ebay ones will bust up and need to be replaced in a years time.

Anyone have some input on this, I may just have to bight the bullet and buy the stealer bushing so I am not worrying about having an lesser product.

I just replaced the handlebar bushings on my shovel. Got them off Ebay. Brand new, no problem.

****, that is where I just got my bars (18" Narrow Apes, which is why I need Poly bushings) I should have gotten them to throw a set in, O well.

Well it's either $15 off ebay, or $45 from Stealership. Really I can buy three sets for the same price I think I am just going to go with ebay.

Go with the HCC ones. They are nice. I wish I didnt pack them a week ago or I would of just had you pay for shipping. I never used them. They ship fast too. I buy a lot of things of ebay. I would just go with the HCC ones($11.95) and know they are cheaper and quality.

Ya true that, HCC are great guys, as long as shipping to Canada isn't stupid I'll get em from them. I should have been thinking about it when I ordered the bars, I should also mantion to them that it might be a good idea to ask guys when they are buying apes that are larger than 12" if they have Poly bushings, might help their sales out.

Thanks guys
