Guys,
Does anyone know if the handlebar clamps off the 03+ monsters will fit the 2001 600, 750, 900? The old clamp with the rectangular top looks higher and looks really bulky

Nope.
is it the bolts on each piece that are a different distance?
I figured distance between the actual risers didn't matter as the top are clamps and not connected like the rectangle was
is there any alternative to the stock one wo buying a whole new triple?
Yes, the bolts on each piece are further apart on the new ones.
You may be able to find some at a moto salvage place, there's bound to be some model of bike that had ones that fit.
Track down a handlebar riser manufacturer, they should be able to help.
