Yeah, I've heard good things about tusk, that's why I got them. I was really pissed when those things wouldn't line up and cross-threaded one of the bolts. Then I called rockymountain mc, where I got them, and they were awesome. They got a tech on the phone, he pulled out the same bars and guards and tried to put them together. When he realized that I had a legitimate complaint, he sent me a new set of clamps and a mounting kit FREE. I can't complain now. The bars seem ok--can't wait to try 'em. (tomorrow)!!!!!
