Default 2016 sportster 48 upper tree clamp help

Hello everyone I was hoping to get insight on a problem I can't seem to solve for a few weeks now. I have a 2016 sportster 48 and it comes stock with 49mm forks and with integrated risers on the upper tree clamp. I would really like to run risers and bar setup but the built in riser system stops me from doing that.i ive researched and can't find anyone that makes aftermarket 49mm upper clamp, everything on the market are for the 39mm forks. So my question is does anyone know if I could take upper clamps from the dyna model and put it on a sportster ? Or any other solution to this problem thanks a lot

How tall do you want your risers?

you could probably get away with switching to street bob trees but, i'm not sure on the rake, etc...


remember to send hd a thank you letter.

I think I'm going to run 8 inch risers with motox bars

Default Factory 47

I don't know if you already solved your issue, but I am doing research for my 2017 Sportster 48 and finding an option to run T-bars. I recently came across the Factory 47 T-Bar Adjustable Bracket https://www.factory47cycles.com/prod...-free-shipping. This looks like the less expensive and sure fit route to run T-bars or risers on the stock triple tree clamps on our bikes. Hope this helps anyone who runs into this issue.

I want to go with the Lucky Dave's San Diego Bars.

UPDATE
After a lot of looking I found a upper tree by Speed Kings that are set for 2016+ 49mm sportster 48.

You must have purchased the last one. According to the
Speed Kings website the top clamp is sold out...
