Default FXR Aftermarket Triple Tree's

My FXR2 has wide tree's on it, I wanna take it back to a Narrowglide. The FXR2 has the bottom mount headlight so an aftermarket tree set up is easier to find than stock trees for a bottom mount.

Anyone ever ran the Vulcan tree's?

I've been wrong before but it looks like the SM trees are drilled for a headlight block?

You look to be correct to me anyways. The three holes on the bottom tree look to be for a headlight and then the steering stops.

I emailed them, they aren't made for a bottom mount light.

An OEM "Matching" set of Trees for your FXR2 should be the 2003-earlier Sportster 883 and 1200 "Custom" models. Bottom headlight mount and Padlock Arm/Hole.

If you can drill a hole in the bottom tree, then you should be able to use really any model sportster 2003-earlier
.

Speed Merchant trees with a bottom mount headlight. I don't know who you emailed but they were high when they replied to you cause I've seen a lot of guys run these trees and ditch the eyebrow mount and get a bottom mount headlight.
