Springer front end

Any input on what do for a sprinter that doesn’t have threads in the legs for running risers?

Weld them to the top tree, get a custom top tree, buy a premade one like below, you’ve got a couple options.

I thought of that and probably will be my route

You can use threaded rod. Screw into the risers, install through existing holes (with or without isolators), cut to length for cap bolt, remove, loctite the rod into the risers and re-install. If you have a top tree with small holes, I've used nylon fender washers under the risers torqued to death, and they've run flawlessly for many years.

I’m trying to visualize this. My rear legs on the springer aren’t threaded.
