Fancy Lower Triple Clamps

funsizeracing · July 17, 2008, 10:59:05 AM

Are they worth the money on the SV's?

Yes,

The stock SV lower triple clamp is made from steel and is very heavy. A set of Mass Reduction aluminum triples saves around 4 lbs.

Worth every penny.

PM Guy, I believe he has one set left.

yeah they are really cool, and really light, and nice and stiff, and pretty. A couple of people make them, but if you can get ANYTHING from Guy Bartz, do it. He produces some of the nicest pieces ive come across, and has generally very low prices. I bet he could anodize them pink too!

Hey Becca, give me a call sometime, Id like to talk to you about your motor work later this season. 314 574 1498.

Ed, while Becca is about your size she can still lift a stock lower triple.

All kidding aside however, Guy's triples are about half the cost of Attacks and do the job every bit as well. I gave him my 2nd gen triples last year to take some measurements so he should have everything he needs to hook you up.

They will work MUCH better than bent stock ones too!

Ben, Hawk, Thanks for all of the positive comments!!!!!!

Ed has performed the final test on a set of triples that I made for him. They can take a hit so hard that the frame will break before the triples do, and like Ed said they save about 4 pounds if you replace the upper lower and the stem. ( that is close to 1hp worth of acceleration in weight savings)

I have one set in stock. The stem however is for a G1 SV. I can do that component over to fit the G2. For a small (no pun intended) fee I can get them anodised in "Becka" pink

If your interested PM me and we can work out the details.
PS I am going to Barber for the Moto ST race so I might no respond right away.

What are you doing down at Barber Guy? Wrenching? Riding?

Becka, get the good triples, they are worth it. Got my tranny fixed last
