My bars were uneven from the factory, I tried loosening the bolts, adjusting the risers, retorqued everything, still crooked

I think the stock risers are machined off a bit and possibly the holes in the top tree are off a bit too.

I've since replaced it all with the HD Street Slammer bars (T-bars) and poly bushings, everything is straight now.

 

I'm thinking about removing that metal bushing that fits inside the poly bushings. This would allow the riser bolt to move a little inside the rubber bushings so you could adjust the riser position forward or back a slight amount. May have to use a different type of "washer" that would fit just under the riser, and in the recess, to provide a flat surface instead of the stock piece so that you could tweek(slide) the riser forward or backward. Once you get them lined up straight you could torque the bolt enough to hold the bars in place. Seems like a doable option.

 

Well, of course. Like the man said, "Beer, it's not just for breakfast anymore"

 

You and some others were absolutely right. I used a wobble extension and it was a piece of cake.

I was expecting the bolts to be knuckle busters like the shock bolts were but they came out quite easily.

 

I'm glad I could help.
