Troubleshooting

Handlebar clamps do not fit 28.6mm bars

Verify that your handlebars are indeed 28.6mm in diameter. This kit is not compatible with standard 7/8" (22.2mm) bars. Check for any obstructions or damage on the handlebar surface that might be preventing a proper fit.

Mounting bolts are difficult to thread

Ensure you are using the correct bolts provided with the kit and that they are aligned properly with the mounting points. Do not force bolts; check for any debris in the threads or mounting holes. Clean threads if necessary.

Clamps do not seem secure after installation

Confirm that all mounting bolts are tightened to the appropriate torque specifications (consult your vehicle's service manual). Ensure the clamps are seated correctly on the handlebar and the triple clamp/riser assembly.
