[QUOTE="dirtrider998, post: 231598, member: 5763"] I'm referring to these [URL]https://www.gopowersports.com/7-8-handlebar-riser-clamp-kit/?campaignid=15940148387&adgroupid=&adid=&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImZGZhs7c_QIVofzjBx2KYQAREAQYBiABEgLUv_D_BwE[/URL] BTW, only one half is threaded which it doesn't show the threads in the photos, or neither is threaded and the threading is on the dashboard where these bolt in, mine have recessed hex head allen key fasteners I'd rather the regular hex head bolts in the link seems I can get them tighter with a breaker bar and socket rather than banging on the L-shaped allen key with a hammer. Got to bring my bolts to the store thread checker and replace them with grade-8 hex bolts, grade 5 would be fine but only a bit more $ for grade 8s are stronger and more corrosive resistant. So, someone suggested just grind down the flat section of these. Good thing I asked before drilling because that should work good, someone said drilling a hole in round metal will weaken it. I'll also sandwich some thin rubber in there was agreed to benefit. [/QUOTE]
