Then the cap screwed in to the slug to mount it in the top triple tree. Considered dangerous, I have no idea if anyone still make them. Your best bet would be a pair of longer legs, you can use the old springs but will need longer spring spacers. I don't know if anyone makes raised mounts for the floorboads, but that would be easier and cheaper. _____________________________ You find out who your bros are when you ride a kick only bike.
