I'm heading over to a machinist to have nylon bushings made for my handlebar mounts on my CB450. The rubber bushings are pretty worn out and, I didn't want to go back to the rubber ones because I hated the flexible flyer feeling. I had no feedback at all and was just going on blind faith that the front tire was sticking.
Honda put them there to absorb vibration but, I'd rather deal with the vibration to gain feel.
I'm hoping the nylon would be a compromise (absorb some vibration but still give good feedback) between the rubber and a solid mount.
I haven't gotten a price or met the guy yet. He seems to be a nice guy, retired, and plenty of knowledge, skill and equipment.
I'm going to ask him to make two complete sets (8 total,1 set for the racer, one for the street bike).
Wondering-- would anyone else be interested?
