Default Riser on a forty eight

Hey guy's! I was wondering if anybody here were able to install risers on a forty eight?

https://www.biltwellinc.com/p290/buy...black-8-quot-/

The oem handlebar clamp is built into the top tripple tree so it looks like its impossible to put some risers on without changing the top tripple tree....

Thanks!

How much taller are you looking to go? There are couple different companies that make 1" and 2" extensions that will work with the factory trees.

i m currently on Biltwell Frisco bar. its 7inch
but i prefer it on the bitwell muddock 8' riser with stock bar. just like those dynamite crew DYNA
but don think i will ever get that look as i believe the triple tree if available will cost at least $800.

Loner industries makes a top tree for the 39mm tubes that sells for <$200. With time I'm sure they'll catch up and offer one for the bigger tubes for a similar price.

Just get a riser spacer that mounts in the riser on the triple and get longer bolts.

I'll do the OP a favor and ask for him....Did you even look at his original post? The riser/bottom clamp is built into the triple tree. Come on man.

Sure did. I think its Loner industries that makes the spacers to go in the existing "riser" on the triple. So why don't you get off of your high horse.

I have a set of 2" risers that are machined to fit in the groove. PM me if interested.
