Triple Wanted

[Seifer]

Hey guys just after the triple clamps for an 85-90 gsxr 750, or an 86-89 1100. Apparently these should fit my r1 forks, worth a try anyway. Cheers

I just coverted my top triple tree on my 88' GSXR750 chop project over to an ABM item so thats spare. Don't have a spare lower tho' anymore. Let me know if thats any good to you.

I thought R1s had USD forks? Those model GSXRs you have listed are all RWU forks.

THanks for pulling me up on that gix, i was just basing my measurment s on a few web pages. lees 7/11 on oldskoolsuzuki.info used the same forks and triples so I figured id go with those measurments. I might head out to a wreckers and see what i can find that will fit. CHeers for now

What year R1 do you have?

[Gix11]

Just measure the diametre of the fork legs mate (top and bottom), I'll tell if they are the same as a '92 750 or '91 1100 front end.

[ej03]

Fork diameter on an 85 750 is 41mm.
Just had mine polished, but the locai wrecker has
a lower of an RGV same dia forks but dont know if the
stem is the same. Someone might know here.
If you want I can measure them for you but might have to wait
untill after x-mas. Will ring a few people for you tomorrow
as I might know where there is a set.

[ej03]

How did you go? Is this the right size, no luck with the bloke who I thought had a set
is you want me to measure up the lower form the RGV let me know and will do.

[Seifer]

Which parts do i need to measure? The lower of where the clamps sit or the upper part? Any specifics would be appreciated.

[Gix11]

Both parts of the fork legs where the clamps fit as this will be what diametre top and bottom clamps you are going to need.

Ok, ij ust gave them a quick measure, it looks like 50mm at top and 54mm at the bottom.
So according to http://www.oldskoolsuzuki.info/perversepolisher/components/forks/index.htm I should be looking for a gsxr750 triple from 91-97. Kind scary how similar they are. Thanks for your help guys.

[Seifer]

Ok, looks like i'll need to do a chop job, I'm now after any slingy or possibly even just the headstem. Let me know if you guys come across anything. I found a nice set of tl1000's which should fit the bill. Cheers.

Mate what year R1 is it? I have a brand new ABM top yoke for an R1 never been used still in the box.

[Seifer]

Mate they're 99 forks but im trying to fit them to an 88 gsxr frame.

[Seifer]

hey just thinking, what do you reckon the chances are of a gsxr stem fitting into an r1 lower clamp. Could someone please measure up the diameter of the bottom of the stem so i can compare.

[Seifer]

Hey jack, how much for the abm yoke and what yr model is it for?

[JackTar]

98-01 apid about 500 but will let it go for 300 including express post if you are keen. I am sick of looking at it, has never been used christ I haven't even taken it out of the box only opened it to take a pic for someone else.

[Seifer]

May be just very handy, does it hold fat bars or just the street bars? WHere did u pay 500 for them, sounds like u got ripped... any way im gonna llook into welding some risers to the top clamp ( cause ive got no money) but if i can stretch my budget that far then i'll let u know for sure.

[JackTar]

That was about 500 including postage and all the rest mate. Not sure if they take fat bars but you can find the yoke at austreetfighter.com.au that is where I got them, anyway if you want them you know where they are.

[Seifer]

is it this item here?
