While I'm hanging out on this forum I'll continue to provide lil tips and trick for those with an open mind and imagination, some will benefit and the hardheads wont...LOL

For those above that didnt understand let me go a lil further. This project was a new handlebar installation along with a delux auxillary lightbar. The torque on riser bushings is only 30-35 lbs which in itself should tell you theres a reason for that: to absorb vibration. Now at only 30-35 lb you will have a minimum amount of play, hardly noticable if it is a tall. Over the course of time theres a chance of developing squeaks because of the urethane. A little preventive maintenance at the install stage is well worth listening to someone from the old skewl. With that said I'm done trying to explain anything more on this topic.
