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!
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.
I didn't know these things existed when I bought and installed my handlebar risers on my 2022 Honda Shadow Phantom. When I installed my risers (with the factory rubber bushings), I didn't like how much flex there was at the tree. Got these solid bushings installed and everything feels rock solid now. If you're installing risers, do yourself a favor and get these bushings.
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!

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!
