Hi fellow members. I have a situation that requires your expert opinion as I’m a novice in mechanics. And I don’t want to guess when it comes to altering characteristics of the bike that may affect safety.
Scenario: I plan to put clip-on bars on the warrior. And I prefer to attach them above the top triple tree in order to maximize my reach.
The issue is that in order to attach the clip on clamps there needs to be 1.5 inches of the fork tubes available above the triple tree as that is the height of the clamp. Based on my research on the forum it has been noted the max the fork tubes can be raised is 3/4” of an inch or you run the risk of denting the fender.
What can I do to get that fork tube raised 1.5” ?
The only thing I thought of was stiffer springs. So the travel would be reduced to avoid fender contact. But unsure of what type to get and if this would make for a really jarring ride. I would like to have this option as a last resort if nothing else can be done.
Any thoughts?
