the one that is photoed in this thread is, but we are waiting for the narrow trees to come out.
 
Just made a complete set for 35mm 650's. Check it out.....Can be had with Café upper as well....

Narrow's are next on the docket!!!! Later this week.

 
Im def interested in ordering these. Looking at my stock set up there is about an inch of offset(atleast it looks that way to me) for the forks?? Will your billet trees lower the front end about an inch when forks are installed? I also have some Vintage Customs fork covers... Would they need to be modified or cut down? Sorry if these questions sound ridiculous. I just cant figure out if it will lower my front a touch? If so that would actually be perfect. I have a set of riser less bars so I would also order your riser bushings and hardware. Thank you and let me know what u think?? My cell # is 765-425-6663 if texting or calling is easier?

Thanks for the interest, and your questions are just fine. id rather answer questions before, than have an unhappy customer after.

The trees will lower your front, about 24mm. (.944), If im not mistaken, the fork covers are the bellow style, and go between the lower tree and the top of the fork 'lower' right? If so, thats not a problem. That dimension doesnt change with these new trees.

Anymore questions, please feel free to ask.

I cant make any guarantees that they will work. It looks like they bolt to the lower tree pinch bolts. Since ours will be different, Im going to say that NO, they wont fit. And the distance from the lower to the upper will be different as well.

Sorry man
 
How thick is your tree? looks like I have about 7/8 of an inch without trimming the covers down?? Do u see any other issues besides that? Thanks. Tim
 
Our trees are 1 inch thick. Close to the stock thickness.
My biggest concern is the mounting holes on the cover look like
they are placed to bolt to the lower fork itself and "wrap" around
The clamp section of the lower. They bolt to the stock fork pinch bolts.
I use different bolts with different spacing.
 
Yes . It does bolt to the lowers and wrap around. I was just
Looking at your top clamp and riser bushings. Thought i may have to
Trim the covers a bit to make up for the dif. Was thinking i could slide the
forks up(lowering bike a little) to fit your tree? For some reason
I am having a hard as hell time figuring this out??? Should be simple
and im sure u know exactly what will work and what wont!
Guess im just trying to figure out how to make them work?

I run the same set up you're looking to run. I had to have Jay at VC custom make his covers to work with the new billet top clamp.

I'm sure with some welding and blending you could get yours to work fairly easy.
 
What will happen is this. If it does bolt to our lower, there will be a
Gap between the top of the cover and the bottom of the new upper
Tree.
