New triple tree clamping concept from Gilles

You’re not the target market, Slow Poke Rodriguez...

The guys at the pointy end who can exploit half a degree of rake angle, however...

 

And the only pointy part on you is the top of your head Sparky...
I am pretty sure that the guys that can exploit 1/2 a degree of rake are getting what they need without 40 moving parts in their triple clamps...

 

If this system makes changing that 1/2 degree a two minute exercise instead of a half an hour, those guys who can exploit it are going to be able to make those adjustments and continue a practice session to compare results.

Seems like a worthwhile investment to me.

 

Now say you’re sorry.

 

Because the fork tube moves through that area.

 

Who knows? That's the complicated part about triple clamps, too complicated.
I'll be glad when we switch to the less complicated but more labor intensive front steering/suspension mechanism below. No brake dive!

 

If you are going to be king of the mountains then you have to have the right equipment.

 

I just braze my forks to the clamps, even holding with no pressure.

 

You mean jb-weld

 

I don’t see it being a real world improvement. The way forks are clamped now when properly tightened is totally fine. I’m betting there will be less than .0005” distortion to the tube. Not enough to matter for the application. If I think about it I will do some measuring and find out next time I have one to that point.
Waste of time and money IMO. Will probably sell tons to trackday guys....
And Goons that think stock SV forks are great.

 

This is not new, I have those triples on my sv for at least 6-7 years

 

What, like buying any aftermarket triples that pretty much all go for the same ~ $1500?

 

I was waiting for someone to say this because I knew I had seen them for sale
before and yep I def did.

funny that Gilles throws them out there on Facebook as new. wall, in any case, we got ourselves a thread with 3 pages on topic. is that some sort of record?

 

A few more and it'll be four!

(That's the cue for someone to come along and fuck it up.)

Maybe they're "re-introducing" them cuz world teams are starting to use 'em?

 

So how many tenths did they net you?

 

I don't know about new bikes, Ducatis, for instance, but my '01 Duc had rake-adjustable steering. Guess how many times I wish I coulda done that within the time constraints and how many times I actually did it. I'll help ya out...more than once and never.
A product that speeds that process up, what, tenfold? Why wouldn't it be used to knock some time off a lap? You won't know if it helps if you don't have the opportunity to make the changes.

 

None
