Title: Trick CZ triple clamps
Post by: firko on September 05, 2013, 11:04:28 pm: Although they're beautifully made, I think these billet triple clamps are illegal for Pre 75 by our rules...What do you think?

RUBBER MOUNTED HANDLE BAR CLAMPS KEEP VIBRATION FROM RIDERS HANDS. INCLUDES NEW STEM WITH A OEM CZ CROWN NUT FOR A COMPLETE PACKAGE THAT LOOKS AND PERFORMS LIKE A FACTORY RACE BIKE,

Post by: firko on September 06, 2013, 09:27:28 am: I believe that triple clamps are treated the same as swingarms and therefore for them to be legal they need to be a replica of clamps that were available back in the pre 75 period. While I really love the engineering involved if I was the scrutineer I'd knock them back. The only genuine period aftermarket clamps I've seen are ProFab items made for Husky and Reeder adjustable billet clamps made for dirt track.

Post by: firko on September 06, 2013, 02:17:12 pm: I've seen Pete's clamps in the flesh and they're pure art. Come to think of it, Kristy's Astro and all of Pete's bikes are works of art.

Post by: yamaico on September 06, 2013, 07:37:38 pm: Thanks Simo,
I made them on a nice little 2 axis bridgeport when I was working in the states a couple of years ago. I now have my own 3 axis Microcut mill that is all wrapped up in a container waiting for me to finish building my shed. I will be churning some goodies out then - I expect to be personally responsible for a world shortage in aluminium ;D

Bazza and Mark - not sure about CD10 as I'm still in Vietnam and I have another company that wants me to go straight to China to help with some problems that they have up there. I'll know more next week,

Pete.

Post by: Bamford#69 on September 08, 2013, 09:24:23 am: Hi,

Double bolt lower triple tree clamps are 1975/76 standard CZ fork mountings,and are pre 78 legal
does anyone have proof of these billet sets being used or available before 75 .

cheers

Post by: tony27 on September 08, 2013, 06:21:51 pm: Doubt they were available pre75 but they are legal in the states along with a lot of other parts that would be frowned on in both Oz & NZ

Mav I myself find it impossible to put into any words how to describe the shonky practices more than some of our crooked RR comrades get away with >:(
