[Pigman]

Eh as close as you can without it being a pain

Im planin a lil somethin

[Kitt]

I have calipers... first read through I was picturing a diff. dimension.

Are you just needing the dimensions of the top triple clamp? I have a spare... fly a chopper over to springfield and it's yours... otherwise I will measure tonight.

[DaSarge]

Yeah kitt just the length from the steering stem bolt (on the right side) to the fork and the width. In inches will be fine..I just need a general idea at what I am working with.

No airborne ops goin to MA until June 16th when I step foot on US soil again

ok... disance between the right side of the stearing stem, to the left side of the right fork tube... right? (I would have given you center to center dimensions if you hadn't said so).

When I see ya, I'll drop and give ya 20... (I was super tied up at work today and left the memory card at home).

[Kitt]

That's in INCH.

a few things to remember:

There is an aluminum nut that goes ontop of the triple clamp - leave 0.25" around each side of the stem (at least 0.5" to make room for a box-end wrench if you cannot install & remove whatever you're installing with the nut in place).

The perimeter of the triple clamp, as well as the perimeter of the stem and fork circles are 3/4" thick, these wall thicknesses are 0.25" or so... the rest is only about 0.25" tall.

These are cast, and do better with fewer holes drilled in them.

[Kitt]

this is probably better than my worded description above...
