Where are the pinch bolts going to go?

Check out my oil filter forensics thread! Offended? Click here"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

I have often wondered about the correct technique for doing something with pinch bolts like this.
Do you machine the ID of the triple clamp exactly the same size as the OD of the fork tube, or is there some formula used to make it a little smaller or bigger?
I ask because once material is removed to allow for the pinch, after the pinch the ID of the triple clamp is no longer round

You are correct. You machine the I'd to the fork od. Then when the clamp is torqued it will still be in its natural position, just under tension trying to compress the fork tube.

I only see jesus having a sauna with a teletubbie.
I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it

its thinner than I wanted. All I had was 3"x3" aluminum so I had to make due with what I had. I plan on trhese only being a mockup set untill I can make a final set out of Magnesium.

better check the strength of the mag vs the al as far as how thick you need to make your walls.

Well I want the offset around 35mm for the trail number Im shooting for. I could not get that number with this piece of stock so its somewhere between 30 and 35. I cant remember. |
