Head/Stem bearings for Mortons raked trees?

No, i already have custom Galfer brake lines on there and they are a couple of inches longer than stock, so hopefully they are long enough. If not i will be re-ordering some longer ones.

I finally finished the mortons trees. Not to bad with the info that's here on the site. The rubber washers worked fine for the handlebars. I got them at lowes where they have the screws in the drawers section. They actually have more rubber type movement than the stock ones did. I mounted the brake coupler underneath the bottom tree on the right side like i had it on the stock trees, and mounted the stock brake hose bracket on the left side like Baclay9 did his. I tapped the 2 holes with 1/4-20 threads because 6mm was to small and it worked great. I drained the fork oil out and only got 14 ounces out of both forks and that was doing it just like the manual said to do it. I hung them up to drain like Alanh did his, pumping the forks and letting them hang for a day. Being that i only got 14 ounces out of both forks, i figured that is what was in it from day 1, so i went with what the manual said and re-filled it with 16 ounces. Everything looks good and it was a fun project to tackle.

Awesome!
How is it to ride?
Post pics!
Im just waiting on custom brake line now with 3 inch longer lower 2 lines (from coupler).
That should be the right length hopefully.

Also, why did you replace the fork oil? Is that required?

Well, i have 49,000 miles on mine and since i had the forks tore down that far i figured it would be a good time to do it. I am glad that i did because from the factory i only had 14 ounces of oil in them when it is suppose to be 16 ounces. I will try to get some pictures soon.

Here is one pic that i took right after i finished. Man, i have a mess to clean up. Tools and stuff scattered ever where. It is sitting on an incline in this one just coming out of the garage.

Here is what it looked like before in about the same spot.

That looks badass with and without the rake!
Let me know what you think of how it handles?
Thanks man.

Looks great! The raked front makes these bikes look so much better

It is a Rivera Prima. I has 12 LED lights around the inside ring, 6 LED's for the left blinker and 6 for the right. I got it from J&P Cycles and thanks.
