triple clamp ID
« on: July 17, 2013, 03:33:28 pm »
This top triple clamp came on my new Shell 750 Yamaha flat tracker. As you can see in the bottom shot, it doesn't match the stock Arces clamp on the bottom, on all of my other Arces clamps the top and bottom clamps are the same casting........The forks are Ceriani road race items.

100% agree with flower pot racing



I have spent a lot of time lately viewing web images and attempting to research and find alloy triple clamps with pinch bolts that would qualify for my pre-60 Maico project ???

Does anyone know of any? I would really appreciate the help.

I have an eligible Norton front end, but the triple clamps are steel and I would like something lighter ???

Thanks Ben and Mick. I figured they might be Arces or Ceriani because of the Ceriani steering damper going through it but I'd never noticed that particular clamp before.
Mick....It might be worth checking out when Arces/Ceriani's were first used in Europe. Jonesy's using Swedish Horex triple clamps on his pre 60 Monark.

Thanks Firko, I am struggling with this. A lot of fruitful research and validation for my Pre-65 and Pre-60 projects has come from German books and magazines. Very enjoyable going through the old mags, but slow waiting for them to arrive and even slower for me to translate them. And I quite often wish I could of spent the money on hardware instead of research ::)
