Xj550 Tripple Tree Swap?

Does anyone know of an easy Tripple tree swap for the '82 xj550? Looking for a different look, something without the risers. Also, without changing the front end. I've searched the forum, so maybe someone has answered this already.
If you really wanna see my ugly bike, I'll post pictures. It's really just a bunch of slap-on's and newbie mods. But it's been fun.

 

even if you found a tree that would fit, it would still have risers. unless it used clip-ons, and if you did that you could just use the triple you have

 

Thanks for that. So, what are y'all doing to customize the front end regarding the trees? I've seen the handle bars slammed to the forks - is that a whole front end replacement? Sorry, I'm new.

 

Yamaha Radian forks and triple tree may work but of course you have to change upper and lower bearings and race ....recommend changing to tapered roller bearings anyway . What ever you attempt make sure it is safe to ride ....

 

if its the angled risers you do not like you could possibly have them machined down then drill a hole and go with vertical risers. check to see if they are hollow on the underside.
it all depends on how much money you want to spend. XJ's have different diameter forks. Seca 550 is 35mm Maxim 550 is 36mm. then you have to consider tripple tree to tank clearances or end up with a dented tank.
nothing is easy or cheap to do

 

Could something like a virago top clamp not work? I was looking at this for my 650 as they use a bolt through clamp style.

 

That depends on which Virago will be the donor.

 

If you’re fine with throwing money at it you can have a custom triple tree made. Cognito moto does great work. I ordered a full triple tree (upper and lower) with a new stem for my front end swap.

 

I just looked at a buddy's xs650; they're without risers at all... Wondering if that Tripple would fit my front end, or if the front end of it would fit in mine...

 

this is a bearing fork conversion link just remember there may be things you have to do besides jusy change the bearings

how does he attach the handle bars with out risers?

 

Clip ons. Like a sport bike

 

so use clip ons on your 550 and use the existing built in risers to mount your gps/phone or any other gadgets you may use

 

Hilarious. But no.

His 650 has top mounts like the xj, but without the bottom angled riser part. So, essentially, his bars sit right on top of his tree.

I should have taken a picture for the joksters.

 

have your buddy measure the diameter of his fork tubes if they are 36mm it may be possible. if you get the upper and lower tree next step would be how wide the forks are spread to determine if you can use your 550 tubes , may just have to make a spacer for axle

 

Yamaha 1986 - 1988 FZ600 FZ 600 upper Triple Tree Fork Clamp is a direct replacement for an xj550... That's what I used on my build. Nothing to be done but swap it over.. but you have to go with clipons or devise your own way of using bars.

 

Could you possibly share a pic of your Tripple? I'm still fresh to this. I can't see where the bars would mount on the fz600, and I am unsure about these clipons you speak of...

 

clipons connect to the fork tube

you can see that they screw/bolt to tripple tree
