38mm triple clamps for leading axle Yamaha

[vandy010]

basically, i have 2 sets of forks and no clamps,
can anyone help out with a set of leading axle style triple clamps to suit the 38mm Yamaha forks?
i'm in Brisbane,
thanks in advance.

Maybe... Need to go out to the shed and check.

If either of your sets of forks are YZ250/400D, then perhaps we could come to some sort of partial trade (obviously forks are worth more than triples)?

[vandy010]

one set is 125j and the chrome ain't that good,
the other set {good chrome and i'm keeping} i'm not really sure what they're from, {the stauntion measures about 50mm shorter that my 36mm 125F does} and the Yammy front wheel bolts straight up to them.
i'll take a guess and say early IT.

[Nathan S]

Most of the early ITs had 36mm forks - even the 250s and 400s.

The other give-away is the axle clamp.
Early ones have a single 8mm pinch bolt (YZ250/400D, and maybe E).
Most have a seperate plate that's held on by four 6mm studs (IT250/465, YZ125H/J, IT175J/K etc).
There's also a third type from the late 70s that have two 8mm pinch bolts (YZ250/400F, YZ250G, probably others).

Anyhow, none of that helps you get triple clamps. I'll go and check later this morning.

Where they those tripples Nat, ones in those 2 frames i send up to you last year ?  i reckon both had tripples and were like 36mm/ 38mm

[Nathan S]

The IT175E and the IT/YZ/DT hybrid? Both 36mm forks.

theseones i have just have the single pinch bolt on the right leg only.
thanks for the info so far Nathan.
i'm still keen.

[Freakshow]

all i knew was they werent 34mm   :O)

[Freakshow]

I have a set of forks here that look yamaha with a leading front be either 36/38mm good  chrome and legs, would swap for something i can actually use.

Note the little square block locator for the brake drum - might give iD

VAndy i also must have the tripple for these ones, if not i would have a set of TT500 alloy tops and bottoms, bought them for a TRick frame and the stems turned out to be half inch to short out the top, so wont be using them.

so are you saying you "have" a set of 38mm triples Freaky?
for "leading axle" Yamaha forks?
i'm interested.

[Nathan S]

And after all that, I don't have a spare set of the triples you want Vandy. Sorry.

Freaky, I'm keen. Price?

[vandy010]

thanks for going to the trouble.
cheers!
