Does anyone else have problems getting the clamp to take a good bite on the bars?
The OEM bars that came with my 04 Sixty-5 would slip occasionally if I gave a little push when kicking her over, and also sometimes just pushing it around the driveway. (Okay, it's a little grade, but...).
I have since put a set of the offroad style bars on; not much of a knurl left on there after chroming, so those would slip sometimes also. got those bottom clamp nuts down (overtorqued) pretty tight, but no, not stripped.
I have tried laying some lead sheet in there, roughing up the surfaces, but that chrome is fairly lubricious stuff.
Currently I am making a set of small dogbone type risers, (clamps donated from Kawi 750), we'll see how that works.
Any thoughts or feedback? A hand knurler would be the cat's ass, but I am not gonna spring 200 bucks for one of those.
Thanks, SteveJay
