looks good! told ya so...lol
It's a great mod....
McMaster-Carr, unless you have a good local store.
I tried to go back with 1.25 pitch but in 10mm most have 1.5 pitch readily available in Stainless.
I went with Chrome Plated Steel in 1.5 pitch and also got 10.9 serated steel grade nuts and use red lock tight. Mine cost a bit more than the stainless ones but I wanted to get back to as close as original I could.
I hope you enjoy them as much as I do mine.

I found this site for the hardware, http://www.fastenal.com/web/products.ex?N=999600000
They have stores all over the country, I can pick up my order about 6 miles from the house.

I bought 10mm 1.5 pitch 90mm long socket head cap screws for the 1" risers. There is enough thread to use the sane for 1 1/4" as well. If you can find 10mm 1.25 pitch you could reuse the original nuts, there seems to be more availability of the 1.5 pitch which requires new nuts as well. I spent like 8 bucks shipped for the 4 bolts and nuts total. Fastenal.com
Exactly what length are the stock bolts? I am going to machine these myself from hard anodized bar stock and
will order the bit I need for the counterboring, the rod and bolts from McMaster-Carr in one order, just need the stock bolt length so I can add the inch for the risers.
Thanks,

Self made Rules...
I made my own also. They are two piece risers so I can go 15mm rise or 30mm rise (slightly less than 1 1/4").
I also made some spacers to fit the gap over the fork tube area..........
what is the O.D. of the tube you used for the gap over the fork tubes?

They are metric socket head bolts with a button pushed in the top.
The stock has a 1.25 pitch, but it is hard to find a longer length in 1.25 pitch. I order new bolts and nuts in 1.5 pitch.
If you need a set of spacers I have a set of 3/4" I will sell you for $15

The aluminum tubing has an OD of 56mm and the ID is 51mm. I had to machine the top and bottom also to fit the ID of the top clamp and the OD of the fork tube top (with the plastic "isolator"). I don't have those measurements unless I pull it apart

can you adjust the fork thru the triple tree with those risers installed? and if so using 3/4" risers and dropping the fork thru the trees would essentially keep the bars at about the same height (I would be dropping it 3/4" exactly).
Just wondering if this could be used as a solution to adjust my front end.
