Hey Mark, I found a set of forks amongst the pile of Suzuki stuff if you still need them. I'll go looking for clamps when I get a chance.

That would be great if you can find the clamps as well Mick.

I may have a set of clamps, they are certainly early RM, but not sure if 125 or 250/370. Can send a pic if you like.

Thanks Simon. I'm not sure if the 125 is the same as 250/370. Maybe some of the Suzuki gurus can tell us if they read this.

I have clamps as follows:
2 x sets of RM250 A/B which have had the molded clamps machined off & have bolt on lay back bar mounts.
1 x set RM 125N clamps (the forks fit).
2 x sets of RM 125A
1 x set RM250B which have been bored to take 38mm forks.
There are others as well but I got sick of looking.
So there will be something to suit for sure Mark. Are you fitting them to a farm bike or PIL?

Some might say I'm putting them on a PIL Mick. I'm hoping to build a better handling version of a 1976 Honda CR250......Just for the sake of building something different and the Suzuki geometry was the go back in the day. It will be similar to the CR I sold you a while back.

I'd prefer clamps that are not swept back and are Pre78 legal. As you might guess, I need plenty of room for my girth......And long arms  ::)

I appreciate any advice and help you can offer Mick. If you reckon we can sort something from the piles of overstock parts you have, I can come over for a squiz one day next week if that suits you?

Cheers
Mark

76/77 250/370 have a 35mm top triple clamp. 77 125 is 36mm top and bottom.
