Finished in a thick chrome powder coat, the clamp locks handlebars with Allen head set screws and is designed to work with 1\" diameter bars and most OEM lower risers. It’s engineered to reduce bar slippage when paired with taller or aftermarket handlebars, and ships as a single chrome top clamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill these risers fit my Harley Touring from 1997 to 2025?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese VPZMT top clamp risers are made for most Harley Touring bikes produced between 1997 and 2025.
