I bought a set of these drag bushings a few weeks back. They are sitting here on my desk as I felt how soft they were and laughed. They were cheap enough that I don't care $10 or so. I got a set of Gooden Tite's by Alloy Art but have not put them in yet. In my experience the harley brand bushings are the firmest. Ran them on my softail and my Dyna and never had any play at all. They might cost an extra $5 or $10 over other stuff since they are Harley.

We'll see how these Goden Tite's are when I get a chance to get them on.

Rode last weekend and the polys do not move. The movement is the bars flexing some when push/pull pretty hard. No movement when riding. Definitely get new polys. Bought mine on ebay, sorry, can not remember which brand, it was a few years ago.

I installed some similar to these in my 08 FXSTC a few years ago, and there is virtually no play at all.

Yup, got the HD poly bushings and it solved everything. I can't believe how crappy the Drag poly bushings were but then again I only paid $12 for them. I guess you get what you pay for.

Installed Wild 1 Chubby Apes today. 12-1/2" bars + 1-1/2" risers, used Harley poly bushings. It is rock solid.
