Default Cheap A$$ parts just dont buy em

&lt\\;P&gt\\;Ultimately Im probably the blame for even considering el-cheapo parts like these so consider it a confession if you like.&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;4 inch chrome pull back risers purchased from an ebay store. Deal looked to go to be true and so it was. &lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;Torque specification not supplied so I torqued the 5/16ths oem HD bolts and top clamp down to 45lb. On the last one I hear a crack. Sure enough the bolt pulled out of the freakin casting and brought the top corner of the riser with it! &lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;&amp\\;nbsp\\;&lt\\;/P&gt\\;
&lt\\;P&gt\\;Dealer name blurred until refund agreement reached, they&amp\\;amp\\;rsquo\\;ll probably say I over torqued (mechanic for almost 40yrs) but Im givin em a chance to make good. If not Ill just post more pics and chalk it up to lesson learned&lt\\;IMG src=&quot\\;http://img72.imageshack.us/img72/365...\;gt\\;\\\\\\; &lt\\;/P&gt\\;
