btw, whats your avatar? it looks like a zombie or something

Its one of the natzis that start melting in raiders of the lost ark.

I'm pretty sure you have to get your bars tapered on to the part that sticks out

how are they ment to stay on lol?

 

[BrentBourne]

it looks like there is a gap between the clamp and the shim, so your bars go in between, get what im saying?

 

[Kroto]

no not really

 

[BrentBourne]

the bars slide over the shim to the bottom of the clamp thats where there tapered together

 

[JoshNunez]

Yeah, that would definitely make the bars sturdier

 

[DJ Lee]

wait... i just realized something. i would think that there might be a problem with this. since the shim and clamp are fully welded together, wouldnt you think there might be some uneven compression in the bars or on the fork? like you could tighten it and the shim would be on the forktube but you could probably pull the bars off still. or have the bars tight and still spin on the forktube

Devon, get the fuck out

 

[DJ Lee]

what?

[Ian P]

im guessing the part sticking out is just a shim to show it has a shim....

 

[Bill]

Nice! build it up and do a Scooter check.

 

[Dom Marconi]

The bars go over the shim, and under the clamp. The shim and the clamp are welded together. That kid is most likely right, it will keep the whole system from tightening evenly, but it is just to make it more simple. I would just stick to the standard HIC shim.

 

[Hunter Treviranus]

Could you please explain how that works? I'm sorta confused :/

ok so theres a opening in between the built in shim and the clamp and the shim is conected at the bottom of the clamp so you just tighten the bolt and slide your bars on

 

[Justin Vogelsberger]

its a cool idea though haha but like it would make it easy to get stuck hic shims out

 

[Rob.]

OH HELL I GET IT NOW. Kinda cool.

 

[Hunter Treviranus]

ya and HIC shims wont get stuck in your bars

 

[Rob.]

the bottom of the shim is welded to the bottom of the clamp. Regular HIC bars slide over the shim and are clamped on as usual.
Fairly smart.

 

[ConnorD]

I still really dont see how the shim could ever get stuck in your bars with the compression cap holding it down.
