I made some spacers with some 1/4" T-6 sheet I had in the garage and a hole saw and drill bit. they came out looking really nice and exact in size to bring the bar mounts and extra 1/2" up. well, after everything was said and done the setup was perfect for me and I was able to stand for longer and experienced a lot less fatigue even when sitting. the next weekend I was getting ready to roll the bike into the truck to go for another ride when my bars felt loose. I took the pad off and noticed one of the 4 mount bolts was busted. luckily a little was exposed so I was able to remove the broken off peice, grabbed a replacement from my bolt bin and loaded up. The following weekend I decided to wash my bike for the first time since I built it. I busted out the simple green and pressure washer. lightly dried everything (I'm not one to care about water spots) and put it bakc in the garage. the next mornign the bars were rotated all the way forward. I figured out that a little water in there froze and busted the bolts, but didn't break the replacement I puit in there the week before, but broke 2 of the originals. looking at the broken bolts, they look cheap and broke like a cheap casting. I'm going to replace them with some higher grade hardware. But I just wanted to share my story, if any of you buy these mounts, they are great, but the hardware is poop!
