Ur bike is badass! I want to go with taller apes and I really dont think these risers are going to cut it. I am going to get them drilled and tapped for now, then look for some new ones. Anybody sell those riser studs in the US?

I got the risers off and I am going to find somebody to put the inserts in tomorrow. I need to ride! I don't want to leave the bike sitting at the dealer while they wait for new risers to show up! I will add risers to my list of winter projects!
I agree with the overtightening but the bars slip. I think it is a poor design. The knurls on the bars don't bite into the smooth powdercoat.

Back on the road baby!
This morning I made a trip to NAPA for a helicoil kit, spent an hour at a friend's garage, and I am back on the road! The helicoils went in pretty good and seem to be holding tight. I dimpled the $hit out of the riser clamps with a center punch and all seems to be good! Thanks for the help guys!

I put new bars on, 12.5 mini apes on my Xbones, and on the way home from Sturgis (about 100 miles East on I-90) I hit a new section of pavement and my bars dropped about 3 inches. I'm looking for new risers also and I think I'm going to do exactly what cammy did. I've got the RSD intake and I'm more than happy with that so I'm sure their risers will work just as well.
