Carlini apes
I bought some 14" 1.25 carlini pist apes and I noticed they were not knurled. I was going to put them on my breakout with a cvo riser but I'm kind of worried about the bars slipping and moving in the riser. Does anyone know if they can be knurled and where would I take them. I called a couple of machine shops but they said they couldn't do it. I called carlini and they said I could drill and tap the risers and use set screws. That's what they use on their risers. Any ideas besides getting rid of the bars, I like them.

Mine move a little sometimes. Not much though, maybe 1/2" to and 1" at the grips. I put emory cloth in there and it seems to help. They only move under extreme circumstances like hitting a hard bump going up a steep hill.

I saw your bike in a different thread. It looks awesome. How are the hd bushings holding up?

The bushings work great. There is still a little bit of flex at the tree, but barely any at all. I did have to trim the sleeves that go through the bushings to get the riser bolts a little tighter.
