Has anyone used a hardmount kit for their handlebars?

Never even seen them before, TBH!

May increase vibration through the bars

I was thinking the same thing 🤔. The last thing you want to add to this bike is more vibration! Jevers

Hi, found a kit that eliminates the rubber bushings for mounting handlebars:

Has anyone installed this? What do you think of it?

I note the blurb says "does not fit CSpec" so is this intended for the Bolt RSpec, in which case it may note fit as I thought the SCR is basically a
CSpec Bolt chassis?

The C spec has clip ons not handle bars.

I've been eyeing these for a little while, I forgot about them until this post reminded me of them. I read somewhere that they do transmit more vibration but its tolerable and the improved rigidity in the front end supposedly feels better. I think I may make the purchase but I won't be able to comment on them until I pull the bike out of the basement for the season.

I found another option: Hard Riser Bushings for Yamaha I think these are made of urethane. I asked on reddit in the Yamaha Bolt group if anyone had any experience with the 310 solid bushings or the hard bushings from ss custom cycle. I got a response that the 310 kit was good if you are installing tall bars. I'm guessing he meant ape hangers or something. The person didn't really answer if vibrations would be bad. The SS kit looks like a good middle ground in terms less play and less vibrations.
