Arlen Ness Poly Handlebar Riser Bushings Fits Harley Big Twin Softail Dyna Sportster XL 1973-UP

OVERVIEW

Arlen Ness Poly Handlebar Riser Bushings are designed to stiffen steering inputs and isolate road vibration when upgrading to aftermarket handlebars or risers. Built with proprietary polyurethane alongside heavy‑duty chrome cup washers and inner steel sleeves, these hardware components replace worn factory mounts across Harley‑Davidson Big Twin, Softail, Dyna, and Sportster chassis.

ENGINEERING & PERFORMANCE

Proprietary polyurethane bushings absorb engine and pavement chatter while locking handlebar alignment to eliminate unwanted flex during aggressive cornering. Heavy‑duty chrome cup washers paired with precision inner steel sleeves resist bending, wear, and torsion far better than stamped OEM units. The assembly bolts directly into existing riser cavities for a true direct replacement that restores positive ride feedback without frame modification.

WHY HARLEY RIDERS CHOOSE THIS

Riders install these poly holders to tighten handling and remove the vague feel caused by stretched factory rubber bushes when running wider or lower aftermarket bars. The combination of dampening polyurethane and rigid steel sleeves maintains precise alignment under steering load while filtering out distracting low‑frequency chatter. Because they bolt directly into stock riser pockets, installation stays tool‑friendly and delivers immediate control improvement. This reliable hardware keeps custom Harley frames and forks tracking straight through years of aggressive street riding.
