Okay....WTF, now what do I do? (Carlini Risers Issue)
The dealer just called me and said that as soon as the tightened the NEW High Roller Risers, the chrome cracked and flaked off again. So now I'm at a loss.....how could this happen twice! The service manager called me and said I may have to look at other companies....because the Carlini's keep flaking. I know other people have Carlini Risers....and I know they are being extra careful....WTF is going on? For 1.5" risers...there is not a lot of options! AND...there will be marks on the bars from the High Rollers....so I have to find something the same size or a little bigger....or one piece.

I'm using the Boob risers but they make a Bra one that should hide any marks left on the bars.

No issues with mine. Maybe they are tightening them too much? That is all I can think of. My buddy has them too without issue.

Damn boss you are having some issues with Carlini stuff. Maybe the stealer is over titighting the bolts. I haven't heard other's on this forum complain about the high roller risers. Best of luck I am sure Carlini will take care of you.

Your dealer had problems with Carlini risers twice, and they're blaming the quality of the Carlinis? From everything I've read about Carlini, I'd be looking for a new dealer to do the work rather than blaming Carlini for poor quality.

Sounds more like a ness mess. Do they use copper for the initial layer in their plating process?

I'm getting really pissed.....I pay money and I don't have my bike with the bars and risers I paid for! I can't get a hold of Carlini....and there aren't good options for 1.5" bars. I'm at a loss here....
