I pulled into the parking lot this morning and went to back my bike in and i felt the left side of my handle bars move and heard something hit the front fender. When i looked down i saw the broken bolt and noticed it came from my risers. I got lucky in many ways, 1 - I was stopped in the parking lot and not riding down the road 2 - when I took the riser off there was enough of the bolt hanging out that i could put the riser in a vice and get it out with having to drill and tap it out. Needless to say I went an bought 2 grade 8 bolts to replace the cheap once that were in. It maybe a good thing to keep in your mind and for sure if you have ape hangers. I have 5" risers with 15" bars and i have never pulled had on mind so I'm kind of at a lose and what made it brake. I guess dumb luck. HAHA.
