Placed the old bars on the new risers to find the triple trees seems to be bent somehow :-(. One riser is higher than the other with both the old and new risers installed.

I doubt it's your triple tree unless you've wrecked the bike. I would guess that it's your bushings under the risers. make sure you didn't lose one of the washers or one isn't worn out.

^agree. Also polyurethane bushings are much better than stock and can be had for <$20. I'd swap them also while you're at it.

If you're not changing the intake/exhaust/cams, they are already stage 1 and you already have a custom tune, what's the point of adding a V&H tuner?

bushings

Hey thanks guys I am heading out this weekend to get some more stuff and I will definately pick up some more bushings and just replace the old ones. I would rather do that now then have to wait....
