Default Swap street bob upper tree
I know everyone swaps out these lame upper trees on street bobs. My question is has anyone ran these lowbrow upper trees that take no bushings? Seems like everyone swaps to polyurethane bushings anyway to get rid of all the play when running T-Bars. I imagine there will be a little extra vibration at idle, but it might be a better option since I won’t have to run those bushings or replace them anymore. I plan on running some lucky daves bars. Anyway, let me know what you think. Thanks

Looks very solid...I like the design. I have a wide front end on mine with traditional risers and bushings...so I can’t say how these would feel, but they look good

Yeah I figure being more rigid should be a bonus when running T-Bars. I guess we will see...

I have the upper tree with integrated risers. So I’m buying a new upper clamp anyway. I’ll actually save money without having to buy bushings.

Can't speak to this part specifically, but I have ordered several things directly from lowbrow (ie, not their eBay store) and they have been nice parts with outstanding customer service. Being near me helps, of course. I put them on par with DK Customs.

Yeah I’ve always liked lowbrow also. I think I’ll give them a try. It seems like the best deal out there anyway. And getting that stem nut is a pretty cool bonus.

I ended up finding a guy to make me these bars who had a standard upper tree. Also had the trees and lower fork legs powdered with the bars.
