I wasn't a fan of whats out there so I cut the "ears" off my top clamp and made plugs to fit the fork tubes. Kinda hard to explain. Anyway I adapted it to accept most stock risers but the offset from riser to riser isnt like a factory harley handlebar clamp so I was forced to buy seperated risers instead of one piece risers. Once it was done I thought I was slick as **** but later found a thread where someone did the same exact thing hahaha. Keep in mind I have a repo of a factory 45 inline springer so there a good chance that other brand inlines won't have the internally threaded fork tubes. Ill try to find that site I stubbled apon where someone had beat me to the punch. Ill also post a link to a thread I posted but the pics arent the greatest. You can see in the side shot its a springer and the rear end shot it has regular non springer bars but thats about it sorry.

Heres my bar setup from a distance. Very easy mod that will allow the use of almost any bar as long as you match the risers to the handlebars. My issue was I wanted fatter bars but some bars are fat with a 1 inch diameter where it bolts to the risers. Well with the risers not offset like factory risers these types of bars were no good to me so I found full diameter 1.25 bars and modded 1.25 diameter risers. Of course things are easier if you stick with 1 inch bars.
