OK 556ALPHA......Bought a 3 by 12 by 1/2 6061 from Grainger. Made a cardboard patern and cut with a jig saw....used the risers as a guide tool and drilled and tapped......they are mirrow image so after the first the next one went pretty fast..........

The start 556ALPHA.......

Looks good, but is there as much bite on the bolts as the original holes? Are the original holes only 1/2" deep? The same hardness? How about the safety issue?

blanton · « **Reply #13 on:** January 29, 2012, 10:51:40 PM »

Good questions Gsun.....The long bolts are the ones used with the risers....The short ones are the stock ones.......1/2 inch of thread bite seeemed OK but I could be wrong, Now you got me wondering...thanks

Looks good blanton.

As far as bolt bite, (I'm not sure of the size bolts used): Threads contact should be at least the same as the bolts diameter. So if it's an 8mm bolt (0.315") and the threaded hole is 8mm (0.315') or more, there should be no issue.

These are what I have on the R1200RT, Blantons uses the same exact principal. They work flawless on the RT. The plate on Blantons looks to be the same thickness at the original bar thickness so I do not see an issue.

556ALPHA.....When you order from Grainger you might a well get enough for these..ben on for 30k and no regretes........blanton

The forward Pegs...(not the red gutter guard).........

556ALPHA · « **Reply #18 on:** January 30, 2012, 01:59:13 PM »

I bet you can really stretch out with those. I have an 09 and already use Ronnie's pegs. They work out great for me since I am vertically challenged.

Did the same thing on my 2010 but put the blocks on top of the 2" risers. I was able to move the bars back another 1 1/4".
