Hey, so ive work all day on my friend 48 brand new and we bought him some nice todds cycle strip bars but bars are 1.25 they dont clear the fork nuts on the top, i thought those were only cover but .... no so I need some risers of some sort. Bbbbbbuuuuutttt that doesnt solve the main problem as the area of the existing riser are narrower than any freakin harley 3.25 instead of 3.5 center to center. The bars are narrowed to 1 inch in the middle but between they made it thicker to 1.25.

What choice do i have ...; either get risers from i dont know where since loner industries are out of stock and dont know any other brand that makes them. And grind of the 1.25 middle part of the bars.

Get the triple tree that makes the riser as they should of been but it s getting pricey ...

That being said I,m looking for solution if you may be of any assistance i'll be happy. If you need or got pictures just ask

 

Ive found pictures of some things but cant find the product seems to be for metric or racers Wonder if it'll work :

bump ...

No one ?

Anyway i'll updated this thing since i've lurked on many forums and realized that i'm not the only one having trouble but no real solutions ...

So I thought about putting some dog bones like back in the time people used to do but it wont fit the nut of the fork is too near the integrated risers and ... it'll look like **** ... i think.


Other solution Rox pivoting risers http://www.roxspeedfx.com/mm5/mercha...t_By=price_asc

then again im not sure it will fit because of the narrow spacing between upper fork nut and integrated riser.

I call the dealer to see if they have anything ... nope they just change the ttree. Wrote to lonerindustries to see if theyll come up with another batch...

So ... as far as this goes i'm leaning foward to change de upper triple tree... this fork must be 39mm like the others will any fit|part number plz
And is theyre any thinner fork nuts ?

 

As a temporary solution you could loosen the triple trees and drop the forks down a little until they'll clear. I ran into the same issue and ended up having a custom spacer machined similar to the Loner Industries setup, this was before the Loner setup existed though.

 

Replied to your question over here: https://www.hdforums.com/forum/sport...l#post11411807

But here's what I said:


I went through a whole process:

I initially wanted to change out my risers for a two piece riser from RSD. Obviously, in order to do that I would need new triple trees. I ordered a set of mid glide triple trees for 39mm forks from Hawg Halters. After getting everything bolted on, the rotor wouldn't line up correctly into the caliper. I figured maybe I would bolt on the fork brace thinking that the forks were bowing out at the end or something. Once I tried to align the holes in the brace with the threads in the lowers I realized I had a problem - the holes didn't line up - the brace holes were short of the threads.

Apparently, there is no standard for "mid glide" measurements according to them. Meaning that our stock mid glide measurement from center to center of forks might be different than a triple tree manufacturer's measurements. That would have been nice to know before I ordered the triple trees, but I guess that's my fault for not asking and assuming that all mid glides were the same. I even called Accutronix to see if they had a triple tree solution, and they said the same thing. That all being said, the quality of Hawg Halter's triple tree was great, their customer service was great, and they gave me a full refund. I wouldn't hesitate to order another product from them.

Basically, I never found a direct bolt-on solution. With any of the after market triple trees I found, I would have run into issues with the fork brace aligning improperly and/or wheel spacer issues. I don't remember what the stock measurement was center to center of the forks, but none of the aftermarket offerings were the exact same as stock.

After that issue (and listening to Wild One's [my handlebar manufacturer] recommendation of using a one piece top clamp instead of a two piece for their bars) I decided to use their top clamp on the bars I ordered from them. I was replacing my top clamp initially because I am using Joker Machine's speedo relocation kit which moved the indicators as well.

Long story short, I ended up using the stock riser that's cast into the triple tree, a one piece top clamp from Wild Ones, loosening the triple tree's pinch bolts, and dropping the fork tubes down so that I had enough clearance for the bars. (FYI, my bar's are 1.25" stepped to 1" at the riser - Wild Ones WO614 Chubby 14" Outlawz)

Sorry for the novel, but I figured I'd share my experience so others wouldn't run into the same issue. Hope it helps.

 

Here's a picture I took while I was working on the bike. These are Joker Machine fork caps but I think they might even be taller than stock ones. There's not much clearance, I just moved the forks down enough for the bars to fit.

 

Loner just posted on their facebook that the risers are back in stock. Literally 24 minutes ago.

 

Thanks , I friend of mine told me to do that as i did it to is dirt bike, i wasnt too sure about it.

You say temporary , if it work temporary it could work for all the time ...

Anyhow i've got to grind those damn 300 $ apes in the middle as the risers dont let them sit right.


Lol for loners maybe my message put some stress on them hahaha

 

Thanks for youre time to share this , you saved me the headache if i went that way.

 

Youre the third one telling me that so ill go that way, and see if it'll fit. If its not fitting well the b|o status of the riser is settled

thanks
