To say I'm pretty impressed is an understatement! These things popped in to place with distinct clicking sound the fit was so perfect. Bolted on my pull-back risers and adjusted my bar in 5 minutes and it is rock solid. Couldn't be more satisfied. I have "The Silver Box" on order and can't wait to install everything for proper pictures once the set up is done!
Great upgrade From the factory bushings, the difference was night and day after installing them under my 14” apes. The only issue was the hardware prior to there aluminum bushings no longer fit so I had to get new bolts but once I did everything fit perfectly. I have a 06 Honda shadow spirit 750, the bolts I bought were m12x1.75 90mm. These ended up fitting perfectly with everything.
I put 16in apes on my 600 lots of wobble. Got TJ's bushings and we are locked down now. Super easy to put on took like 10 minutes tops. It's a must with apes. I am running his fork extensions,v stack,and carb kit. His stuff is a little high but it is good shit.
Works perfectly. When I got the bike the previous feller had some squishy feeling handlebars on this bad oscar with some 2” risers but he also gave me a nice set of T-bars with it. I reckon it wasn’t able to get them set up correctly or competently or maybe he just didn’t like that. Either way, I order these bushing and bingo, no more squishiness and the T-bars fit like a dream.

I had installed the bunny ear bars from TJ and I loved the look but not the feel.
The stock poly bushings in the triple tree caused a lot of unwanted movement.
Installed these solid bushings and it is night and day difference!

- These solid bushings eliminate that flex and give you a much more direct, planted feel.

My solid bushings came in today. Unfortunately I can't do the install today but just had to get on here to tell you, you need these. Very well made.
Had only one issue and it had nothing to do with the shop. UPS decided my order was to tour the US, and TJBC were very helpful in contacting UPS and watching the situation from their end.
Awesome solution to the gaping 34mm whole when stock riser is removed and look amazinnnnn
I recently swapped the stock bars on my 2013 Honda Shadow Phantom for the Traditional T-Bars from this shop and was VERY happy with the new feel right away. The riding position and overall control felt awesome.
THOUGH… once I hit 50–70 mph in curves, the bike started to feel a little too shakey. I knew something had to be flexing. I was still running the original factory riser bushings (13 years old, mind you), and after reading the product description about how the stock rubber bushings get mushy over time and allow the bars to flex, it clicked immediately. That was 100% the issue.
These Honda Shadow Solid Handlebar Riser Bushings (Black) were exactly what I needed.
Installation was incredibly simple (check out the photos). I did one side at a time so I didn’t have to worry about alignment during re-installation. I used the top and both bottom bushings/washers as shown, and everything went together clean and tight.
Unfortunately, and completely unrelated, less than a mile after installing them, my clutch cable decided to snap on me. Bad timing! So I’ll update this review once I get that sorted and can properly test the handling at speed.
That said, just from the install and how solid everything feels now, I’m confident the brittle, flexible OEM rubber bushings were absolutely contributing to the instability. These solid bushings eliminate that flex and give you a much more direct, planted feel at the bars, which is exactly what you want when carving curves or making quick corrections.
If you’re still running old factory rubber bushings, especially on a bike that’s over a decade old, don’t think twice. This is a simple upgrade that addresses a real safety and handling issue.
Keep both wheels on the ground and keep on wrenching!
It was time to replace the rubber boots so I bought these bushings. They fit perfectly and feel sturdy
The solid riser bushings made a noticeable difference, eliminating some of the free play of the old rubber ones and giving a much more connected feeling to the handling of the bike.

Fast shipping all the way to Australia. Nice fi ish, perfect size. Fits my 2007 Honda Shadow 750 Spirit C2 perfectly, removing the wobbles from the raised bars.
With my 14" apes on 2" risers there is no more wiggle at all. Fast easy install. If your handle bars have any play this is the best solution.
Had the sorry trash rubber washers that were not even that worn out, but still loose as a goose. Didn’t realize how bad it was until after I installed the solid handlebar riser bushings. Plus it came with a peppermint.
Very well made . Looks great on the bike . Plenty of compliments giving thanks to the beautiful finish of the brass !
I bought my shadow with window bars already installed but with no support or even washers to help stiffen it up. Bought these Johnnie’s and now I can yank on my bars with no play whatsoever! Makes your bars of choice rock solid! You guessed it just like your co…
