While there's all this measuring going on, could one of you guys do me a favour?
I need to know the distance between the inside of the fork clamp and the inside of the riser.

Here's the measurement of my triple for reference:

I don't have my bike here, so I'm sorry not being able to measure. What I see in your picture is a very bulky triple (CC?) which would probably not allow these risers, unless you install the bars at almost 45 degrees sweep angle. The solution might be to machine your triple - or get the SpeedyMoto Tall Boy, which mounts on the outside of the forks - not in front like the Swatts.

Yes, it is a Cycle Cat triple. Clip-ons at 45 degrees would be way too much sweep for me, so yeah, maybe I'll have to go with the Tall-Boys.

Do you anticipate the same issues with your coffin reservoirs and needing the spacers when you get the correct 3.5's?

If it's me you're asking - yes, I do. The spacers are required for the reservoirs to clear the bar pinch part of the risers. That won't change with the taller risers.

Yes, sorry for the confusion.   So do you think the Speedymotos would have any issues with coffins?

I don't know, they look a little slimmer - call Christian at SpeedyMoto or Jeff at MonsterParts?

I have the SpeedyMoto clip-ons (the first gen design without the rise) and needed spacers for my coffin masters.  Not sure if you're referring to those or the new design made for the monster that has the rise.

FYI, I actually no longer have the coffins and am selling my spacers that I bought from MonsterParts.
