Default FLH triple tree repair

Does anyone know if there is a replacement stem available for early FLH triple trees and who sells them if so?

I have searched for several hours but have came up with nothing.


Thanks,
Gregg

You could check with a machine shop if all else fails. It could be pricey.

It's a 1975.


I have searched JP, V twin, Vulcan and several others but have only found
Springer and XL replacement stems.


I bought an Ebay aftermarket lower triple tree that I was going to use but it looks like sh_t to me. I thought about cutting the stem out
of it and tigging into mine but it seems like a waste.


I own a small Atlas Lathe but don't know how to cut threads!


Thank you,
Gregg

Default Triple Tree repair

I thought I finally had this all ready to weld back together but when I mocked it up to set the height of the stem I noticed the angle of the stem is back at the top quite a bit.

Now I wonder if my upper triple tree is compatible with the lower, I'm afraid it may pull to much rake out of the forks.

Does someone out there know if the upper and lower trees in the photos are good together? I took picture of the OEM part numbers.
