old school tip a guy told me take a aluminium can and cut strips to size and use that free and worked great for me

[@Clipsvr2329]

What an excellent fix I was searching new bars to fix this exact issue

[@GreatEgret]

I did this very same thing when I installed my Biltwell Chumps based on one of your comments in one of your older video. Really great tip!

[@TonysGarage]

Great Egret Thanks, took my bars slipping about 3 times before it fixed them. Haven’t had a slip since.

Super helpful! Totally rad deck collection in the background too! Love the Cab!

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks man! Glad it was helpful

[@johnrogers7567]

Had this issue and tried the drywall sanding screens. Worked great!!! Thanks for the recommendation!

[@dz-hc3zj]

You've got the answer behind you. Griptape. Perfect to cut exactly to length and width, and sticks perfectly in place.

[@robvelazquez9195]

Totally rad. This has been driving me nuts with my zombie performance bars

[@TonysGarage]

Glad it helped!

[@ericmartin1387]

A little dab of valve grinding compound works wonders and plus it’s good on bolts and nuts with rounded heads and Phillips screws

I have the same issue with the biltwell apes. Not sure what biltwell was thinking of not knurling them, they actually have put an explanation on how knurling is not useful.

[@34979Charlie]

For steel bars without knurling you need steel risers in order to be able to torque the bolts down more than is possible with the alu risers … if the bars do have knurling you then need alu risers that are softer than the steel risers and will therefore bite into the knurling when torqued down = hopefully no slippage

[@rjbsummit]

Do you still approve of the drywall paper/emery cloth? I found that after a while it turns to dust. Please advise. Thanks.

[@TonysGarage]

The emery has worked for me in the past. Thanks for watching ride safe

[@matthewdaniel6920]

I couldn't get the Emery cloth to sit flush and even, and the screws wouldn't snug up because the Emery cloth bunched up.

[@khangthai6732]

What kind of camera did you use in this video sir? 😃

[@TonysGarage]

That was shot in a canon 80D with a 50mm 1.8 nifty fifty. That’s for watching.

[@FarmerTheOG]

Do you know how tall the stock bar is?

[@TonysGarage]

I think it is a 3 inch rise

[@CactusJack252]

I have an iron 1200 and my stock bars slip. It really pisses me off. I’m about ready to throw them away for some t bars

[@TonysGarage]

Ape slip pretty easy from the leverage you get from a taller bar. Try some emery cloth between the bars and clamp it will help and make sure the clamp is torqued to spec. Ride Safe Jacob. That last a great bike you have there!!!!!

[@brents1643]

What happens when it gets wet?

[@AGMS10]

indian head gasket sealer, 1 or 2 dabs, and good luck trying to break them loose.

[@tsb232000]

Won't sandpaper and emery cloth weather and degrade over time? Try the beer can trick. Surely a strip of aluminum could last much longer...

[@modelx89]

Biltwell not bitwell

[@jondiaz2440]

modelx89 thank u!!!!!

[@TonysGarage]

Thanks for noticing😂🤣
