So I put a set of Buell hand guards on my clip-on equipped S1. Well, I had to adjust the bar on one and the damn clamp on the Graves clip-on snapped with the slightest bit of torque. I guess it's taken years of abuse so I can't complain too much...but it puts my damn bike down again after finally getting it back on the road. I noticed they changed the design considerably to strengthen the handlebar clamp (two evenly spaced fasteners instead of one offset mounting fastener). At least it didn't snap whilst riding.

"At least it didn't snap whilst riding"

This is an extremely silver lining!!!!

I had to order another brand. These guys wouldn't sell me a replacement clamp.
