I seen that a few people awhile back wrote on here about how to change the top triple tree due to the factory made in risers, but didn't see no answer to what options you have for it , so I decided to make a new thread..
Here is what I got going on... found me some bars I wanted for the sportster that are 2" bars 16" apes with a 1 1/4" riser setting.. was gonna send them back after I found they didn't fit and find the right set for the bike, but found that they don't make any 2" bars that clamp down to 1" so I decided I needed to find a way to make these work.. I did find on ebay a top tree that would work and it said it fit, sure enough, it wasn't as wide as my fork tubes so the site lied.. by the way my sportster is the 2014 super low 883.. anyone point me in the right direction... I have the risers I need just don't have a tree I can put them on..
Ok, thank you for the spacing... but has anyone found a solution for this in the past yet?? I mean I know I can't be the only one that it trying to put my own risers on a Sportster
Ok, I went and took the expensive way to fix my problem and replaced the front end, got my bars on now and I'm running a 26 on it... rides good, 26 didn't give it any problems, measured it all out so that it would still be the same ride height as factory with a stretched front end and 26.. here is some pictures Had to make me a way for the speedometer to fit.. work out good i think 26 with ride height the same Got lit up
