Okay, i am a few days from installing a pair of 14inch Meathook Bars and painted inner fairing. Do I really need to change out the "one piece top clamp" or will using the stock OEM clamp do the job? I will however be installing the poly risers which I know for sure is a must but I am not 100% sure on the clamp. If the clamp needs to be changed then which one is preferred?

 

When I did mine I didn't change out the riser bushing (Mine were fine). I would change out the clamp only if you have the two piece. Mine is an '11 Limited and already had a one piece clamp, don't know which year they started that (I know my '05 and wife's '07 had 2 piece). Change it out, one piece MUCH sturdier.

 

Yes the clamp is a must, your bars will crack between the clamps if you don't do a one piece.
They are not that expensive so why not?

 

Do you know which one?

 

You can use the stock one off of any of the touring bikes 08 and Up.

 

According to your sig, you have an 08 so you have the clamp as stock.

 

Good catch dawg, I didn't even look.

 

Cool so I already have the clamp which was on the stock bar. Thanks

 

go to the Wild 1 web page, it shows what is needed for which year bike
