my swatt bars review
ok my thoughts on the clipons is
pros
1. nice height
2.look good
cons
1.the two piece clamps sucks ***..having to tighten/loosen the 4 bolts to put on or off,sucks ****,because if you dont tighten them at the same rate you strip the damn head ...cause one was tighend more then the other
2.the rise peice moves around like Micheal Jackson..
3.after moving around and a few stalls later,went home to notice one bolt was cracked on each side..(out side bolt).(what the ****) glad i wasn't doing any stoppies,because if the clamp came off while doing one,(lets just say i have no job and like to travel,so i trip to the factory would have been in order)......
soooo needless to say i think they need to revise the design before some one gets hurt....
and yes i used lock tight,and that **** mine as well have been ky...because they still come loose and moved.....

Re: my swatt bars review
Mine are fine. You have to take your time putting them together and tighten all the bolts evenly. I have had mine on for over a month and mine is all tight. I checked the bolts last week and all good. Sounds more like user error to me....
