Default Play in Handlebars

Now that I have the ne 16" Apes on my bike I have some play in them at the risers. I didnt notice it before, but now there is atleast 1/8th of an inch of play in the risers. What could that be? bad risers? bushings? Thanks for yalls insight.

Get some polyurethane riser bushings and put those in the risers, and also make sure you ahve a single piece top clamp...See if your bars are knurled as well...

my bars have a single calmp, and the WILD 1 bars are knurled in the middle. Ill look into poly bushings, where can i get those? My closest harley dealer is 45-60min. Think theyd have ones that fit at an auto parts store? Thanks Anubiss.

You can get the bushings at the dealer or you can order them aftermarket and have them mailed to you. The stock rubber bushings svck.
