um no. if stocks and wees work fine then these should would work too.but they dont.?
PLUS- my friend made bars with me and he is using a old a fork and his will not clamp either.




the slits on mine were 1-1/4 so i mad them 1-1/2 and it didnt work. should i make them bigger like 2 inches?

 

[Hep Greg]

then the bars are f*cked and there's nothing you can do.

 

[Stevenson]

ID is too big?

 

[blaine142]

NO!

This is the exact metal we ordered for the steering column. http://www.onlinemetals.com/merchant.cfm?pid=7341&step=4&showunits=inches&id=250&top_cat=197

bigger shim

 

[blaine142]

no there is nothing wrong with the shim either cuz i cut the clamp therefore when i clamp the bars i have plenty of room. when i tighten the clamp as tight as i can its not even close to bottoming out. so hep greg sayes i cut them to wide but idk. im startin to thing i should cut the slits longer like 2 inches?

 

[Aaron Huff]

Here is a picture of the slits on my bars. Penny for reference of course. There is another slit on the opposite side too.

 

[Joe Riley]

try a different clamp?

 

[Humma]

Yeah, get a new clamp.

French ID ones look good.

Browse Ebay for some DK ones

Something is wrong with your bars, either your slits are too big or the inner diameter is too big.

All the one pieces PROTO makes have dual 2" slits do you can try that.

 

[Billie Rainbow]

bit late to say now but should cut 3 smaller slits
thats what i done for my mates 1 that made some bars
and the same thing happened just kept moving
made new 1s and 3 slits worked good no problems still 2 2day

 

[blaine142]

DONT DO THREE SLITS

 

[domd]

lol blaine listen to greg.

 

[domd]

dub post.
try again when you get your sr fork back from the old lady

 

[blaine142]

DONT DO THREE SLITS

ok lol

lol blaine listen to greg.

no.. i dont think it has to do with how wide they r. cuz i saw pictures of c4 slits and there huge. i just dont know.. i think i might just let them sit around til that brass knuckle clamp comes out and then just cut the slitted part off.
and my uncle is welding it not an old lady. that was my neighbor lol
