I think he's referring to the handlebars that are welded to a cast center which is the clamp of the springer? Like the old 40's handlebars?

The bars you describe are made for a Springer front end that is inline (like DNA or Paughco), not a current FLSTS offset like yours (and mine). You can mount a set on top of your stock triple tree (with some custom hardware) but it will not be a true integrated unit like the old bikes were.

You could use the ones on the left...as you can see they will mount on your stock risers or any other riser for that matter....There are a lot of adapted "inline, cafe, board track style bars" that sit on risers now...do a search for some of those name and add the word springer.....you should come up with something... I was looking in to it a while back but in the end I'm leaning mini apes instead...I just don't lean that much forward to warrent the look..

www.southeastcustomcycles.com did a springer classic with those bars custom mounted on risers. It's the green one on their website.

I see that the handlebars don't actually "replace" the top tree. What sort of riser bolts are being used?

Thanks,
Brian
