Hit a bump on the Bones and my bars moved a little. Babied it home and loosened the left clamp. Cleaned out some powdercoating crumbs and put it back together. The back screw just let go. Dangit!

The dealer said they would replace it under warranty but it would probably just do it again or they could drill them out and put steel inserts in...not covered by warranty but a better fix. Waddya think?

I'm thinking some aftermarket steel risers would solve the problem.

 

Let them fix it under warranty then if it happens again decide from there.....What is cost of them doing the non warranty work as opposed to new risers??

 

Not sure, they are closed tomorrow and wont be able to do anything until tuesday....Those time-sert thread repair bushings look pretty slick

 

Warrenty should = new risers, then in the future perhaps loosening and tightening both risers and bolts progressively will avoid the problem...? ...

 

When I put my apes on I had the same problem, stripped both risers.
Put helicoil in and they are much stronger than stock. Helicoil is the chit!

 

+1
helicoil it, much stronger than stock

 

change the risers out

i had this problem and with a very cheap riser stud change you can use any risers on the springer front end.

give me a shout if you want more info....even if i wanted to i couldnt move my bars without loosening the bolts there totaly solid cheesecake did the same and will confirm what im telling you pussboy

 

Torque Wrench.....

 

Right now I just want my bike back in service! That prob means going the time-sert route. I would like to know how to adapt other risers to work tho. Thanks guys!

 

Like I say I put helicoil in mine until I decide which risers I want, in the meantime I'm ridin..I think it's bout 30 bucks and half an hour of your time..
I would like some advice on riser stud change cammy cause I'm lookin for some cool risers..
