T bars have play

[FXRforLife]

Sup guys. So I put 12" tbars on my fxr. I've had them for a few months and love them. Only issue I'm having is over time even tho they are a tight as can be they feel loose and wiggle back and forth. Is this just the poly mounts going bad from having taller bars and putting more pressure on them? Also if anyone has or is running the metal bushing replacements how do you like them?

Thanks!
Bobby

add a few washers on the underside. the bushings are probably getting smashed or the thread inside the risers isn't as long as the stock ones. check and see if the bolt bottoms out before they tighten the bushings all the way..

if they are the stock risers then your bushings may need to be replaced. rigid mounted ones will transfer vibration to your hands a lot more.

Thanks for the input. I'm going to rip it apart tonight. It almost feels like the bushing have been ovaled out.

i dont run poly bushings in T-bars. Too much slop when you have that much leverage. I run solid metal riser bushings in all my bikes. A little more vibration, but a no slop.
