Are you guys with fat bars just drilling the standard tripleclamp and bolting the handlebar clamps to it?

Most do as it cheap and easy or you can get a comfort kit but for

Or

I like my $$$$

The other option is to take it to Ben at http://www.extremecreations.com.au/ and let him sort it 8) 8)

This is the underside of my top triple.First a got the die grinder out and remover the webbing to make a nice flat surface then cut and shaped some 10mm alloy plate to fit the void then did the same with some 3mm plate so that i had a uniform thickness all the way across the triple.I then used single bole risers with washers under the nut. some say that it is over enginered to the shit house as the top triple dosn't take much of the load, but at least i can be conferdent that it wont fail

I made sure to buy risers that attached with a single large bolt instead of two smaller ones that way it would attach to the yoke without having the supports (webbing) underneath getting in the way. Bolts go through and attach the risers, and locked them into place with a little bit of thread lock to prevent any incident.
