Yea I saw the post and the dimensional drawing. I was hoping to just swap a set with someone who wants them instead of milling them. I'll go the mill route if I don't find anyone.There was a post here years ago with a dimensioned blueprint on how and where to drill your current clamp for bar mounts. Pretty simple machining job. The guy who posted it even had a link to his machinist who would do yours for you if you don't have access to a Bridgeport. I was considering doing mine just using my drill press with a two axis vice but I got lucky and found a GT top triple at a very reasonable price. I will admit the bike really looks considerably better with clip ons but I can't deny the comfort upgrade to my aging wrists and back.
Good luck.
I sold the top triple clamp from my GT a few months ago.Anyone interested in trading me their GT top clamp (with the bar clamp holes) for a smooth SC top clamp?
Wow!I'm looking for something a little higher. I'm planning on going with a set of Moose Competition CR-Hi aluminum bars with the cross brace. I'm making a new seat and high rise fenders too.
More like Scrambler sprinklings. Suspension and wheels will stay the same. Just a few mods to change the look a bit and make it more comfortable. This is the end goal:Wow!
That is quite a transformation.
Are you making a Scrambler out of a SC?
Why not swapping bikes for a Desert Sled instead of swapping top triples?
Just Joking! :grin2:

I'm not sure about those particular bars but I have the GT top clamp with taller risers and a superbike bend bars on my SC sand with the stock pegs it's quite comfortable.That looks interesting.
With the handlebar so high you might meed to modify the footpegs position also.
Stock SC rearsets are located high and back. They match the forward position of the stock SC clip-ons.
The tall handlebar will not be so comfortable if you don't move the footpegs to the front in a lower position.
Something closer to what the GT1000 has.
Nice!I'm not sure about those particular bars but I have the GT top clamp with taller risers and a superbike bend bars on my SC sand with the stock pegs it's quite comfortable.![]()

A bit expensive. But as they are hard to find you might be interested:

I don't recall any SC with that kind of handlebar.Woof! That IS expensive.
I had them machined and spacers made to raise the clamps above the curved top surface of the clamp for $150. Mika aluminum clamps with Moose Racing CR-HI aluminum bars.
I agree, it does look pretty cool and not really out of place.I don't recall any SC with that kind of handlebar.
To be honest. It looks better than what I thought it would.
Still willing to trade? I have a GT top clamp currently installed on my sport 1000 (bought used). Let me know.Anyone interested in trading me their GT top clamp (with the bar clamp holes) for a smooth SC top clamp?

LOL, not only that but the OP shows in the thread that he has already machined his top clamp for risers and bars.This topic is 3 years old. (And actually belongs in the Classifieds. Oops.) Be sure to check your dates! BTW, the OP hasn't been here in 5 months.
