9pm here and 'he' is on the way, so best get off to bed.  I guess that 'he' has already been down your way, in which case merry christmas to you all and enjoy your Christmas bbqs.

Ben sent me the guff on the Fox replica triple clamps and I was going to upload this morning them but Christmas duties got in the way. Here's some better resolution shots. I reckon that for $590AU they are a good deal.....try and find genuine originals ;). Good news is that they can also be obtained in 43mm for Japanese forks.
PM Flowerpot Racing for more details.

Hello Mark.
 Feast your eyes!  Santa has just come early!
 
£380 for all that you see!  Chuffing bargain!
 
will take 44mm legs or 43mm legs.  By making some 43mm they will of course take alsorts of Jap forks, rather than the more exclusive (elusive?) 44mm big brothers.
 
Would I be right in thinking that they area bit out of your era, but do you know anyone who would be interested?  More are available in very limited numbers.
 Aerospace grade alloy, clear anodised.  They look good in the pictures, in the flesh they are much better!
 Even the draft angles of the original forgings have been replicated!  Lots of details that arent really needed have been included, but help take this parts to the next level.
 
Ideal for nice people who like (and appreciate) a first class engineered product.
