Yessir I know exactly how the Yaffes are. My KST Mayhems are almost identical and I've never slid the bars using the stock clamp which is why I've asked. I'm wondering if the knurling on the bars have list their grip so to speak. They shouldn't move once tightened. I've installed several sets and I've never had one move under normal circumstances.
Could be. I went with the MBs because of the angle it put my wrists at. I put about 3k on them before I noticed they slip, and prolly at least 10k on since. Still haven't torn it apart to fix it right. Will advise on the knurling, but your prolly right. I'm thinking about putting a few light grooves in the knurling when apart to help.
All in all, if finances approve over next winter, I'm taking the whole fairing and everything off in favor of something else, so the bars will be up for sale.
