Title: Looking for 53/56mm triples for a 07 monster
Post by: TAftonomos on August 12, 2010, 04:19:24 PM
Anyone know where I can find them for less than a ton of cash? 

I can't get AEM-factory to return an email

Speedymoto doesn't make them

SBK triples are the wrong offset.

Only idea I have now is find a ducshop or other 30mm offset SBK triple and find someone to make a custom stem for it....

bore stockers?  It's only 2mm oversize on the lower one, and 3mm oversize on the upper.

Don't mind doing the top at all, it's the bottom that takes all the stress.  I might have to just buy a set of monster billet triples and machine those....at least they were carved from billet instead of cast...

makes sense.  The cast top one that i did was pretty cheezy.  lots of little voids.  Tho remember you're only taking off 1mm, vs 1.5mm for the top.

I can try to hook you up with a guy in Italy. He runs S&P. He can custom make anything you want. pricing is about 500-600 euro for top and bottom with stem pretty lightweight.

of course it's august, so you would have to wait a few weeks.

Also IMA does this. You can contact Patrick Costa or his brother for pricing.

I bored my stocker.  Working for the last 3 years. 

Would like a better looking option though.

Just sold my IMA triples, but that is another option.

I'm going to end up selling mine as well, but simply ordering up a second set from them for 53/53 sbk forks. I quite like those guys, they are very friendly.

A M, did you by do a weight comparison between OE and the IMA triples?
Title: Re: Looking for 53/56mm triples for a 07 monster
Post by: junior varsity on August 13, 2010, 12:27:00 PM
I did not. The lower triple is waaaayyyy beefier though. Its a "3 bolt'er" if you will.

But if you hadn't sold what you did, my bike wouldn't be nearly as cool now as it is.

Thats a really good deal. Actually it's a great deal. Did someone mention they can do them in custom sizes as well?
