just wondering if anyone has switched to 1-1/2 risers, pics would be appreciated. and off hand does anyone know what size the stock ones are

 

I believe the stock risers are 5.5" from the tree to the center of the bar.
I changed mine to 2" risers... also changed the bars.

 

i slid my forks up the triple trees about an 1 1/4 do you think it would interfere with the stock bar set up, also i read that you sprayed your inner rim black, do you think i can do the whole rim or will it get to chewed up over time

 

No it shouldn't interfer... especially with the stock risers. Here'e a pic of mine:


My painted rims are holding up very well. I scuffed em, primed em with self etching primer & applied a couple coats of Barbeque Black. Here's a pic:

 

big thanks, drive by a beat down '63 olds with no hubcaps everyday and say to myself there is no way those rims are powedrcoated
