Arlen Ness 08-029 Polyurethane Riser Bushing Kit

Great Price. good quality

Worked great, got rid of all extra play that was in my newly lengthened handlebars. Bike feels rock solid again, for only $30, it's the best investment for your aftermarket handlebars.

Product install was a breeze on my 2003 FLHRI. I do have Heritage Softail bars so there is extra leverage on the bars. I used red loctite on the bolts and torqued to spec. I did find I had to retighten later on a trip. The feel is much better and the parts look much more stout than the OEM parts.

Arlen Ness has been making good quality HD replacement parts for decades, they fit and they work. XL/FX/Softail models a fairly straightforward installation. Dressers and some softail models with a headlight nacelle are gonna take a lot more dis-assembly to get at them but worthwhile. As always consult your service manual and watch a few You Tube vids on your model/year and it can be accomplished without huge effort. I've changed them out on all the Harleys I've owned over the years for better steering response and getting rid of that sloppy feel at the bars.

installed these on a 2018 FLHX Street Glide while installing Road 6 Customs Holy Roller 12" bars. Everything was stock prior to install. Being a shade tree mechanic for my own vehicles, I was ignorant to the length of the stock riser bolts being severely short until I had everything installed. Only had about a 1/4" of engagement of the threads in the riser. Called Arlen Ness and the call was answered by a live, knowledgeable person. He said that the stock bolts will not work. He suggested 1/2" x 13 (thread count) x 2 1/4" grade 8 bolts. He also said the 2 1/4" length would be hard to find but a 2 1/2" was very common at places like ace hardware. Got the 2 1/2" and had to grind down about a1/4". The Bars feel solid and no excessive vibration could be felt in the bars. Overall, very happy with the bushings but feel like there should be a heads up from the seller that they will not work w stock hardware on this application. 4 stars for the hassle of having to figuring out the hardware snafu

Definitely needs this the bars won’t move or wiggle so much better when you ride feels better and worry free about the bars ever moving or wiggle.

Totally changed the way my bike/bars feel. Changing these bushings out was a time consuming process. I am aware that it can probably be done without taking the faring off but I'd never done it before so it gave me the opportunity to really clean it in the covered areas. After I got my bike back together with the new handlebar top clamp & bushings, the first moments pulling out of my garage to ride I could tell and immediate difference. Over my 100K miles my bars had moved down countless times, and my tall bars felt spongy, not rock solid like they feel now. I thought I was going to have to go with a Tee Bar setup, not now!

Perfect fit. The riser bushings were original to the bike and they were in bad shape thanks to the harly rubber mounted motor. Wow these bushings made a huge difference!! It even helped the wobble I had on the highway.

A lot stiffer than my factory ones but feel very good. I think I feel more vibration but my old factory ones were worn out so they had more give but the bars felt "soft"

They fit well on my 2014 street glide but you have to buy 2 1/4 inch bolts as a stock 2 inch do not work. They do not tell you that in the description

My 12” apes were rocking several inches with the stock Harley bushings. It’s a bit of work to install so I wanted quality parts to replace the stock. These didn’t disappoint, there is zero rocking and rock solid bars on the bike now. Totally worth the price.

Switched to 12inch apes and didn't initially change the oem harley riser bushings. I didn't like the movement I was getting. The Arlen Ness bushings reduced the movement feel much better.

Installed on my street glide to eliminate the softness caused by apehangers. Was not disappointed, they work great
