Stripped My POS Riser!!!
Hit a bump on the Bones and my bars moved a little. Babied it home and loosened the left clamp. Cleaned out some powdercoating crumbs and put it back together. The back screw just let go. Dangit!
The dealer said they would replace it under warranty but it would probably just do it again or they could drill them out and put steel inserts in...not covered by warranty but a better fix. Waddya think?
I'm thinking some aftermarket steel risers would solve the problem.
