Can you have a helicoil put in or perhpas weld up the hole and drill and tap? I would try a helicoil first. Over drill, over tap (in size) helicoil and put back together. Just a thought. | |

Thanks Ken Cooley for a nice product and amiable support! The installation went pretty smoothly, and I'm very happy with the extra height & slight pull back. I've added a few pix to further clarify on the installation. ![]() Definitely get an extra set of hands to hold down the handlebar. I also used a heat gun to loosen the studs - which are VERY tightly screwed on - the heat made a HUGE DIFFERENCE! Overall an easy do-it-yourself and worthwhile mod. God speed!!!

Hey everyone, love the risers and install went great. Took about 45 mins. For those of you tat will install risers in the future, a impact wrench makes removal of studs a breeze. Thanks again ken for a job well done and lookinf forward to seeing chin spoiler.

| Glad you asked about the Chin Spoiler. It is under development now. My question is if those of you who might want this would be interested in a chin spoiler that afixes to your current radiator cover or a full replacement of the radiator cover that encorporates a chin spoiler? I would love to have comments on this. What I am considering now after having removed the radiator cover and found that it could be mounted to that perhaps a light weight plastic chin spoiler would be cheaper and quick to mount on the radiator cover. Thanks, Ken |

Thanks for the suggestions everyone. If you seen my other posts, I've already replaced it. It wasn't 16 hours and I'd already visited the dealer and placed the order. I wasn't purposefully ignoring the help. I didn't read your suggestions in time. I wasn't paying attention to this thread since I already had my risers and posted my feedback. For practice I might do as you suggest with the stripped original. I've never done a helicoil insert before. Whether I had done as you suggested or bought a replacement, it was something of a penance for being to anxious with the install. Sometimes I gotta be taught a few times before it becomes ingrained. By the way, I'm still loving the new riding position.
