XS650 Solid Riser Bushing Installation

This is a super easy swap out type job that only takes a few minutes.  I unbolted the risers on the '83 and lifted the bars right up.  You will probably have to fish out the little R-pin at the bottom of each riser before they can be unscrewed.  Small needle nose pliers work perfectly for that.  Once you've got the bars lifted out you should see the original rubber bushings.  Pulling out the bars should have loosened them up a little bit.  Twist and pull out the old rubber top bushings first, then insert a medium size screw driver down threw the bottom bushing and tap it out.  Now it's time to clean up that area a little.
