Has any one here been using these for awhile.I been thinking of getting
the 3" ones,and was wondering if they are safe.
thanks

 

On the old school Sportster and current big twin style forks they're fine I think. I haven't seen any for modern 39mm forks. I'm not saying they don't exist, just don't think it's a great idea when longer fork tubes aren't all that expensive. 39mm Dyna forks are 2" longer. If you were closer I'd trade you for your stock fork tubes. I seem to be shortening fork tubes quite often.

 

I was hoping you would answer, my bike is a 1997,would you use them.
Thanks

 

If they are machined like these I think they'd be ok. I would be leary of them for a while but after a couple hundred trouble free miles it would make me feel better I guess. Thing is, the part of the tube where your fork cap threads in isn't designed for the type of stress a fork extender adds. BUT, personally, I do things almost every day that people tell me are silly or dangerous.

What about just using those for clip ons? That would be Awesome!

 

I've never though about that but that's a great idea.

 

I think I should clarify, I wanted to put clip ons over the top tree instead of under it. Installing these then clips ons would be exactly what I need.

 

Those are the ones i came across looking for tubes.
thanks alot for the reply.

 

Yeah that's what I figured. Cool idea. I have a bike that I slid the forks through enough to run clip ons that way and yes, I bottom out sometimes. It's rough.

 

So you want to use the extenders for risers
