I picked up a 97 Road King (ex police bike) .
I'm trying to work out the bugs/wiring/etc while I am waiting on the shop manual to arrive.
One of the many small problems I've found is that the bars are loose and there is no adjustment left. I even tried replacing the two-piece riser clamps with a one-piece just to see if it would help. Better but still loose.
The PO was using aluminum shims to help take up the slack.
The bars are heavy 1 1/4 with a 1" center clamp area.
The risers are the factory original pieces.
I am guessing the bars are not factory original.
Should the clamp area be 1 1/4 for the factory original risers?
