I'm getting ready to order Wild One 577's along with Polly riser bushings and they are only $10.95 for four at Dennis Kirk. The price is so low it makes me wonder about the quality. I think I saw some on another Website for $19.95. I know they are higher than that at a dealer. Anybody have an opinion? Thanks.

 

ive used both the HD ones and the drag specialties polly bushings..deff worth the money much firmer feel..as to what brand...polly is polly..i only bought hd becuase id forgot to order the drag ones and they had the moco ones in stock...im impatient...lol

 

If you're gonna replace bars why wouldn't you install polyurethane bushings instead of the washer setup that's stock? Especially for 11 or 20 bucks...
BTW, what isn't higher at a dealer?

 

I found no advantage to poly bushings- the difference is in how hard the bushings are tensioned.
I was able to 'tune out" many of the vibrations that were giving me problems with my hands going numb.

I did the R&D on my FXR where you can get to all that stuff alot easier.

my 2¢, save $10

I am going to replace them it's just a question of which ones. I was just wondering if the cheaper ones are just as good as the more expensive ones. Sometimes it's just a question of how much mark up an item has that effects the price.

 

I got the Harley ones off eBay for about $10. Worth the upgrade in my opinion. Less vibration affecting the carpal tunnel wrist.

 

Well worth it - I went with the Harley ones on my last bike and they made a huge difference -

 

A leisurely rider may not pick up on all the advantages, but they're definitely worth it. Bars don't vibrate as much. Big difference in quick directional changes, less rubbery in feel. Steering is more positive. When you make a quick left/right steering input, the change is MUCH more immediate because the bushings don't have to compress that little bit the way the rubber ones do before your steering input reaches the forks. Tightening the riser bolts won't do squat for lateral movement which is where a large difference can be felt.

Do it, it's a cheap upgrade you can feel an improvement on.
