Default 06 RKC spongy bars

I’ve owned my 06 RKC since new. 24k miles and still love it. I don’t ride as much as I used to but lately I noticed that my bars felt spongy.... or numb. I ordered up a set of Ness urethane riser bushings and finally got around to installing them today.

holy shlt. What a difference.

100% improvement. However, I’m not sure if the stock bushings are junk or mine were wearing out- but damn, it feels completely different. I took it for a little 30-40 mile ride and am blown away at how much better it feels.

It was a 2.5 on a scale of 10 in difficulty. Can only imagine what a dealer/shop would charge for it,
