Default Problem with Drag Spec 6.5 pullback risers


Drag Spec 1803-6025

The distance between the 2 holes for the clamp bolts is slightly less than on the stock Moco risers. So, any stock clamp plus the bolts (which are now too long) won't work......

peachy eh

It's almost like these were drilled wrong or something. Like I said, there just enough off to make them useless
