Rode through my neighborhood last night. Froze my ***** off, but everything checked out. Im still havin a hard time with my riser clamp. Im wrenchin the hell out of it, if I stand the bike up with me beside it and push to start it rollin, the bars will move slightly. Its all good with the clutch cable man. I appreciate you lookin for me. Last night was like Nascar. hahahaa turn left, turn left, turn left - dont turn right. However I did make a few right turns, just had to be easy about it, no disengagements.

Did you tighten your suspension on the right side like the nascar guys do? Is it the bars slipping or the bushings pushing in the trees?

Another more savage method is to take a ten penny nail (or punch if your hi tech) and beat the crap outta the KNURLED AREA ONLY! Makes a killer clamping area
