let me tell you about a ride I took saturday night. I went to a freinds bar in I'll (Hog Mama's) on my old shovel bobber. it has ..or should i say had 20 in apes, solid riser mounts,and the supension is a little stiff. a suscide shift and foot clutch, any way I was comming home and crossed a 1 lane bridge that had a "bump" on both sides. as i crossed it I heard a "snap" and though this can't be good. what had happened was the risers had broken OFF at 65 mph!! luckly, it was on a stright streach of road and I just ballanced the bike until I got it slowed down until it started to wobble and desided it was probly softer in the ditch than on the pavement so i leaned it into the ditch. i was probly only going 15mph or so by this time, but it still thru me over the front of the bike and I landed on my sholder. I don't think I broke anything but it hurts like hell when I move it the wrong way. but get this it didn't even scratch the paint on the bike.. nothin. no dents,bends or scratches... I cansider my self real lucky, it could have happened in a curve or in traffic or many other places that could have been real bad. the combo of the tall bars ,stiff suspension and solid mounts were just too much for the risers. so be carefulout there.
