Which would you rather have?.....

Okay, don't answer that question.

The set mine just got were 8k, but they're 650cc of silicone glory each! back on point...dealer said he'd file a claim and have me a new one asap

 

[Raywood]

back on point...

AaaaHaaaa, what were we talking about?

 

[Cutter]

I will get mine in since I am now on my third set of bolts

I am concerned that the holes may have even elongated, have to wait and see when I get home.

 

[Gas Man]

Sounds like you have a bad one, GM - my dealer really stressed that they don't want to see ANYTHING less than the 0.680 minimum, or you get a new one.

So I have to contact the dealer or BDM directly?

Any year in particular? 2003 with an 18 inch bar..

 

[P8RIOT]

It seems independent of year or make, because the same bar can be used on so many bikes, and they could have been sitting in stock for a long time.

 

[P8RIOT]

So I have to contact the dealer or BDM directly?

Probably a dealer, I would think.

 

[Oscar Maldonado]

I'll have to measure mine up tonight. Thanks for looking out for all of us Skully.

 

[Gas Man]

I'll have to call the dealer...damn it.

 

[Gas Man]

I called BDM directly. They said the chopper is not part of the recall and my dimensions may be normal for my bar.

 

[skully]

gas man,

no need to take a chance, have the Dealer measure the bars. three of us down here have had bars replaced. its a free replacement if needed. the recall Does Not state any model or any year, just the size of the bars....all jokes aside, this is a big safety issue. even if you only carry a bag on the bars, ever thought what would happen if the bar broke and the bag got tangled in the drive belt or wheel. not pretty..

Excellent point.

 

[Gas Man]

Great point but they said it wouldn't be part of the recall. But I'll see about getting it done this winter...
however, that being said, they didn't list any of the 250mm tire bars and BDM said it only applies to some models...

 

[PurpleDog]

Strut hole size spec?

I've just recently experienced the broken sissy bar mounting bolts problem. I see here that the minimum diameter of the bar should measure .680 or greater. I thought I had read on here somewhere the maximum strut hole diameter size spec from BDM before, but I can't seem to locate it today.
Does anyone recall reading that or familiar with the thread containing it or the spec? Appreciate the pointer if someone remembers it, thanks.
