Hey folks, New to the forum. My question is will the stock risers for the rocker work with that narrow springer from Paughco?

The normal center to center top triple tree is 3.5".
I think the springers riser mounts are closer together.

P.S. Welcome to the forums.

+1. The Rocker is a modern style bike, don't do it. It won't look good. Buy a crossbones and be done.

Hello Guys
I was just reading up on the Springer blog. I researched some of it and found the same issues with the OEM Springer not fitting on the Rocker due to the 2.5" offset.
I actually measured and purchased a Dragon Slayer Springer from a guy on craigslist for a decent price. (They are $2500 bucks new in chrome)
The dragon Slayer Springer comes with 3 different styles of triple trees.
They might have different offsets. I got the one with the decapitator tree and it measured 2" offset. The batwing or smooth top tree might have the smaller offset. This is a winter project so I will post pictures later this year. The nice thing about this Springer is that you can adjust the trail by cutting the smaller front tubes down so you get back your 4.5 to 6" of trail. check out the pictures.
best regards,
RC

Well I definitely wouldn't recommend buying a new one from them. I've been waiting about 5 months for mine and getting lie after lie. I've cancelled the order and going with a different springer
