Gender:	cheapskate riser 05/04/14 at 12:32:04 looking at my new bike, instead of buying short risers, can I just bolt the crosspiece under the handlebar and toss the long bent pieces, ending up with my handlebars sitting on top of the tripletree? would save me some money. part #8 on bike bandit 'steering stem'

my preference has always been to get the handlebar clamps(risers) as close to the upper tree as possible and then adjust the reach by choice of handlebar.
My all-time favorite style of bike has been an AMA flat-tracker.

Beauty, eh! (the fact that this is a harley is irrelevant. any engine will do)
Cool
