First time Triumph owner and love my Speedmaster. Does anyone know the riser spacing on an 06 model. It has 6" risers on it now but I am wanting to change out the handle bars to T type. Thanks for any help.

Thanks. I tried that last night but doubted what I came up with. I am thinking of putting on a set of T bars and wanted to make sure I had the right measurement before I ordered any bars. I was afraid it might be in mm's.

Nope same as HD bars, I have HD risers with the 1 piece cap.

Hey Dog!
Don't forget to tell him he may need the adapter stud things.

What Charlie meant was the stud adapters to bolt HD bars to our top tree. Our riders have 10mm studs and the HD bars use 1/2". Adapters are available to make this change or you can drill the top tree out for the 1/2" studs.

Thanks for the help. Went with different risers instead of replacing the bars and ordered the adapters from JP. The risers I found were 1/2 thread. Should be up and running Sat.
