How tall are your new bars? You may need to get stiffer bushings in there, the stock bushings are really soft and will wobble alot.   Logged     http://s799.photobucket.com/albums/yy279/surveywaters/My%20Bike/   The administrator has disabled public write access. #283318 hardone2get (User) Who care's what you ride!

The rubber is only there to dampen vibrations.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #283331 rcfumes (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 200 Re:riser question need help 2 Years ago   It's probably just a combanation of the bushing and the hight of the kongs.+ its a new feel for you so its throwing you off. I assume there 16?   Logged     Gas on it goober,,,   The administrator has disabled public write access. #283379 droptopcaddy (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 255 Re:riser question need help 2 Years ago   yea they are the 16 inch kongs,,,they feel really funy when ya try to roll the bike or hit the brakes and put pressure on them ,,,deff differnt than the drag bars that were solid,,,does somebody sell stiffer bushings,,,how doea that work,,,or solid,,,maybe ill get used to it ,,jusr seems like way too much movement   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #283416 Reggie (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 325 Re:riser question need help 2 Years ago   http://www.baronscustom.com/catalog/display/782/index.html   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #283429 Clifford (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1781 Re:riser question need help 2 Years ago   The early R*s have two separate risers with two separate caps, the later bikes have risers connected together with a one piece cap. I don't think that would make any differance though. The risers are mounted on rubber bushings that soak up vibration. The OEM bars will move a bit and of course as the rubber ages things get more sloppy. When you put apes on and increase the leverage by abot 10 inches the bushings move that much more. You can put in new bushings, you can replace them with aftermarket bushings that are polyurethane and are stiffer, and you can eliminate the bushings and make then solid.

Clifford It does make a dif. if your risers are not connected. my 4" risers, flexed and were very spongy (would turn/flex) but when connected together at the top they could not turn/flex. just my .o2   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #283446 droptopcaddy (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 255 Re:riser question need help 2 Years ago   thanks for all the help guys,,,guess ill be ordering some   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access.
