doesnt really matter i guess, i just need a top triple clamp that size so im perhaps thinking upside down forks off a 80/100cc MX bike? any ideas? I doubt theres a bike with converntional forks 46 or 47mm diameter or is there?

ok thanks for that info. So did the late 90's RM's go back to conventionals? was it 125 or 250?

im still looking for a 46/47 and 50mm triples clamp - any condition considered.
