Triple tree
I have an FLSTCI 2005 and want to upgrade the triple tree. I have managed to snap both of the fork leg clamping bolts 
presumably through load shock and had one of the fork legs unscrew[
]. The roads in my area are a bit rough on the bike obviously. I want to put a heavier duty tree on without having to modify the front end or change the forks. Has anyone fitted an upgrade and if so what did you fit?

RE: Triple tree
Why not save your self some money, pull the tripple tree off the bike and get a machine shop to redrill and tap the holes for a larger size fine thread machine bolt and get a grade 8 bolt for it. Should be nearly bullet proof that way.
