Team-

I recently purchased a 2018 street glide from an owner in GA. So far it has been a good purchase.

The Bike has aftermarket apes installed by an H-D in Chattanooga. After a couple of long rides I noticed that I am getting quite a bit of movement in the bars. It’s not the back and forth that you see when someone didn’t do bushing but full forward backward movement. So…. I order a new top clamp from Hill Country as it has been an easy solution on previous bikes. This evening I tore down the fairing and was hoping for a quick top clamp change. WTF is this?? There is no top clamp on these bars. I personally have never seen it. That doesn’t mean that much I realize but I need some guidance here.

 

Must be a post 2013 thing . My 08 has top

 

That double sided 3M sticky tape is some good shyt

 

In doing some research it looks like they are LA Choppers bars.

Not sure yet how to tighten them but I think this is what they are.

 

This should help

 

Thanks man! Hit it with a torque wrench. Hopefully that keeps the movement to a minimum for awhile

 

That would be neat on a bike with an exposed handle bar clamp.
