cvaria, just a thought on the grade 8 bolts used with the riser extensions; if the bolts were a ductile stainless steel bolt I'd agree with your concerns but grade 8 bolts are a medium alloy quenched and tempered steel with a proof load of 120,000 PSI. I doubt anything short of you finding another tree on the highway in the rain and darkness will cause those grade 8's to fail

I would definitely look at upgrading the riser bushings if you haven't already...stock harley ones are garbage at best.
Talk to Jim today? I really want to run his risers, but I am not sure about the width of all the MX bars out there. 30+ inches is too wide for me.
called and got no answer, left a message. called wild1 and they said they can't help.
i don't know what the reason for this is but i'm leaning toward low demand. looking like my options are get a cnc and do my own shiz or suck it up and get some tall risers and use some 1" bars.
cnc is maybe out of the question unless i make a career change to entrepreneur.

Why not just get a set of bars like wild1's street fighters or something with integral risers

No adjustability. I looked forever for a set of 1 1/4" tracker style bars to go with my stock 1 1/4" risers and couldn't find any. Ended up switching to 1" risers and some mini apes. Been considering going back to a bar/riser set up if I can ever find a set I like.

Fixed bars don't allow for rotation and further customizations like wider or more compact bars... but I probably won't change the bars out any time soon.
I think 1" will win just because of market support. Wild1 had a 1-1/4 7" but, it had a 1" pull back.
If you decide to go with 1", not sure what kind of bars you'd be looking at but I run the Big Al's low bars and love them
Love them, had a few different setups on before these but I've stuck with these. They've got a lower rise set than this one (2.5" vs 3.5") if you don't want too much rise out of the bars. Don't think I would ever go to a fixed set of tbars, coming from dirtbike riding as a kid these just seemed to fit the bill perfect.

Outstanding! Only issue is they will not allow for micky mouse guage mounts. Lucky daves, joker machine.... etc... I think i'll try them anyway. They just need to be powder coated
