CRF450 Triple Clamp Offset

[csmutty]

So I am in the process of finishing a build on an 03 CRF450 and need triples that have an offset of 8-10mm. All I can find online from any of the manufacturers is a 20-22mm offset. My friend has tri-stars that are 10mm on his CRF but they don't even have a web page. And just to clarify, I am talking about the stem to fork offset, not the bar to triple.

Thanks.

Tri star has gone the way of the do-do. If you come across any for a smr. Be sure to notify me immediately.

Try calling Peter Kates or Mike Martire and see if they have any hanging around their shops. Otherwise I would check supermotojunkie to see if anyone is selling them.

is that the guy that bought my crf? It had 10mm tristar clamps. But ya they are done...I don't really know of any companies making them outside of custom work for that offset.

*maybe these guys, but they are in Germany and are probably a billion dollars http://www.xtrig.com/

Where did Matt Barber get his clamps? Didn't he have Red Baron or something like that?

You can research a little I think the KTM SX 125 Came with 14mm from the factory which is a nice offset for those bikes I ran that before I got my 8mm tristar. its an oem and can be found fairly cheap.

[Paul_E_D]

I have a set of those for 2K. Comes with a whole 125 and a ton of spares!

[Chippertheripper]

i'm gonna have to pass on that. i don't know if i'll ever buy a non-platable db again....

they are all the normal 20-25mm offsets

red baron has 14/16...cheaper than oem's for the 125. i'll be keeping an eye on the smj classifieds too.

I looked and they say that they have adjustable offset? But I think that they are just talking about the bar positioning I think? And was your CRF an 07?

[seth399]

yup I had 07

[csmutty]

yup I had 07

Yep that's the bike. Damn that thing goes good!!!! I am trying to do everything suspension wise on the 03 that the 07 has because it feels awesome.

XTRIG clamps are adjustable offset, but I couldn't figure out what you the offsets were. Personally I would look pretty hard at those Red Baron clamps. I had the 8mm TriStars on my KTM, but I ran into the 23s on the stock (18mm) clamps. Gosselin ran stock clamps on his KTM down into the teens.

And smutty, the 07 you rode wasn't Seths old bike. Same triple clamps, but different bike.

When did you sell it? Cause I know he put his ported head on it, high comp 14:1 piston, full PC exhaust, etc when he got it. Here is a pic of it now.

[seth399]

Are you talking about Adam? if so then he didn't buy it. I sold it this past winter to a guy who lives near Loudon but said he probably wouldn't race, just track days. Mine was all white

Ahh ok. Yea Adam Clark's bike is the one I am making reference to.

[seth399]

ah cool, ya I remember his being built pretty sweet

Take a look at Shanes motard someday. Dirtbike with slicks he uses the same bike for flat track MotoX and Supermoto. no special valving or clamps just 17s with slicks.
