Purchased my big dog 2006 mastiff last year and always a had some movement up and down in the handle bar bushings and was told that was correct for vibration I sent my triple Tres out for chrome and figured I would replace the bushing replaced them with the polyurethane bushings and torked them to the service manuals specs 65 ft/lbs and now I have no movement is this a good thing or a bad thing just was wondering if it was gonna cause a lot of vibration in the bars now bike is not ready to ride yet or I would ride it and see for myself if others have had problems with them I was just gonna take them back out and put the old ones back in any info would be appreciated thanks in advance

I've always replaced the rubber bushings with Polyurethane bushings. Depends on how much time you spend on the road. My last cross country trip from Kalifornia to Florida my hands got numm after the first day. When I got to Texas I could barely sign the hotel receipt. But the polyurethane bushings are way better than the rubber ones in my opinion.
