Thanks for your response 901glide. I took a look but didn't see anything about bushing replacement. It looks like the riser are threaded on with the bushings underneath. Do the risers unscrew to remove? They seem in good shape and are not loose. I'm thinking about skipping this all together.
theres a bolt that goes through the bushing then through your tree into the bottom of your riser. if your going with 14in. yaffees you really need the urethane bushing instead of the stock rubber one, if not your going to have a lot of play with the rubber one. you need the outer fairing off, and at least loosen up your inner fairing so you can get a socket to remove the bolts ,then a torque wrench and red loctite to reinstall

The problem I have is that I don't have great access to the bolt underneath, especially with a torque wrench. I see the bolt coming up through the riser. Do the risers spin off of this bolt. If so, once off, how do you put them back on at the right torque. A video showing this would be great. Thanks for your input Steve b.
