Review on πŸ•ΉοΈ Arlen Ness 08-005 Handlebar Damper Kit: Ensuring Smooth and Stable Handlebar Control by Eddie Fowler

Revainrating 1 out of 5

NOT SUITABLE FOR TOUR MODELS DIRECT FROM ARLEN NESS!

I bought these for my 2001 Road King because the description said they would fit. Well, I assemble my bike by making a lot of things, so I ordered several parts at once. I worked from the back of the bike to the front so I found they were too big for my bike by the return deadline. I contacted the seller and explained the situation. I received a response that your bike is a custom order, the item has been opened and was longer than our 30 day policy. I don't understand how the tip of my triple clamp, which has been stock for 16+ years and is used on the bike and doesn't fit, is custom. This seller is terrible. I actually spoke to Arlen Ness (company) and they informed me that this part number will NOT fit every touring bike. He told me they only make two sets of riser bushings: this one goes with everything else, and the other sets are for tourers. So if you are looking for a Harley touring bike riser bushing set then the correct Arlen Ness part number is 08-029. I had to open an A to Z dispute because this seller refused to work with me. If the fault was mine I would understand, but this listing clearly states that it fits my bike when actually it doesn't!
