Triple tree swap?

Does anybody know if any other bikes of similar years have the same diameter and spacing of the fork tubes? I'd like to put the upper triple tree from my Seca on the Vision since I overhauled all the controls and added drag bars with bar-end mirrors.

Or any trees that accommodate bar risers?

Ron McCoy did an outstanding and highly professional graft of a Suzuki Gs 1000 front end onto his V (year unknown).  I believe he machined his own triple tree setup to make it all work.  His is the most trick V I know of.  The front end swap is only part of what he has done to his wonderful bike.  You might be able to contact him via email.  I think his bike is in the gallery. It's blue with an '83 fairing.

Nothing fits . Several have modified the Triple clamp to accept handle bars. I just sent one to David for YJ.
Mine is a bit different . I made it in 2003. I have a third style  already made , if your interested, PM me.
