You cannot push your bike around with tall bars when you are in hilly areas, because once your bars slip even with knurlings they will never grip as good again. I am sure many guys will post feedback on this topic for you.

On my old bike with 16" I had taken an old intertube and cut out a piece and layed it between the bars and the clamp. Never had an issue with movement again.

Current bars are stock mini's, but I am planning on installing this when I get the $$$ for them and cables.

I was thinking of a hardened pin, but never thought of that...Did you indent the handlebar as well, or just sink the bearing in the riser?

Here are some stock-type Street Bob/old Wide Glide 'mini apes' that I powdercoated gloss black ... they were the older ones that did not have holes for wiring them internally so I had to drill my own holes ....

I am using 'dog-bone offset' risers that are about 3" I think ....

Maybe email them mate. Email address should be available on their website. If no luck email Rollies Speed Shop, they should be able to do you a price with shipping. Fair warning though, they aren't cheap bars.
