Default Gooden Tite Polyurethane Handlebar Bushings

Any body have experience with Gooden Tite Handlebar Polyurethane Bushings, getting ready to install Wild One Chubby 10" Apes on my 06 FLHX and want to replace bushings, they claim there far superior then other bushings on the market. Anyone have experience with them?...Thanks

I had them on my RKC when I put my 17" Carlini Evil Ape's, I REALLY liked them big difference. When I sat on other peoples bikes with different bushings their bars had much more "flex" to them than mine.

I will be using them again when I put the Apes on my current bike.

I can't say anything about the ones you're looking at, but I've put 2 sets of the HD poly riser bushings on my bikes and they are much better than stock. I would think that the ones you are looking at would be the same difference.

Used them on my 16"ers with good results. You 'might' notice more vibration transferred to your hands but I'm guessing that all poly bushings have that characteristic.

Me too. Bars are rock solid. Make sure you torque the bolts to spec to fully compresss the bushings.
