Autos have had vacuum advance (and centrifugal advance) since before I was born... (And that was a long time ago!) Maybe if you're running a magneto...

Will this 2004-2013 Sporty lower fork clamp work on an 05 FXR? Both 39mm, and this one is only $97 as opposed to several hundred for an aftermarket FXR clamp.

What do you mean "05 FXR" ? ... did you mean to say 05 FXD?
The Sporty should work (YMMV), but you'll lose the Fork Lock feature ... Dynas use a different Stem
Why can't you sand/file your broken stop flat, then drill/tap for a SHCS (socket head cap screw). The head (plus possibly a stand-off) will become the Stop ... it's done all the time

I did mean FXD, not sure why I was thinking FXR.
I will look into modifying the fork clamp with a screw stop. Mine is broken below flush so it will have to be built up with weld material, but that shouldn't be a problem. Sure, it's cast aluminum which tends to weld poorly, but we'll make it work.
