Can we revisit the "tricks" for keeping 16" apes tight on my 04 lowrider? I have heard about shimming with aluminum from a coke can, using a punch and glueing a couple BB's then snugging them down. Can anyone else chime in on this? I have the poly bushings but I think the one piece clamp on my lowrider needs a little help?? Thanks in advance.
If your riser bolts do not go all the way through the bottom clamp it's possible that your bolts are a tad too long and are bottoming out.
The beer can trick does work, as does wet sandpaper.
All three methods will work. Dont make the mistake of using a ball bearing in place of a BB. End result in that one is a cracked top clamp over time. I use the punch method with 16's. I've come too close to cutting off a finger when hacking a beer can.
inner tube helped me , but if I was tired and really hanging on the bars , a big bump would move them. I switched to emery cloth a while back ( rough side to the risers and yes my bars are knurled) , pretty sure I could do chin ups on them and they wont budge.
