Feeler for 03 top triple swap

[razorback]

I just picked up an 03 SVS that had the fairings removed and helibars put on.
I'm looking for someone to swap the top clamp, risers and bars from an N model.
Located in Central California.

You will need to swap complete triples. Naked triples have a different offset than "S" models, so you can't swap just the top clamp.

Ya could try a swap for someone with an LSL or banditmania triple...

Thanks guys.

Actually, I just saw Chainsaw Willies conversion but I'm curious about the integrity afterwards. I only read the first page so I'll have to spend some time this weekend going through the whole thread. I have a 1" protaper at home that tapers down to 7/8's that I was going to put on the S3 but never got around to. I'd just have to get new clamps, cable and hoses (steel braided, to boot).

I'm in the process of getting the parts together for the Chainsaw Willie handlebar conversion. I'm toying with the idea of cutting some 1/4" aluminum plate to fit against the underside of the triple, for some added backing along with some wide washers. I think at least one company sells a kit with a backing plate as well as an aluminum plate for the top surface.

I like that idea, skortch. I may give that a try.

hey asshole no one wants you around here

or at home at TS3...... WELCOME DUDE.

im goin through the same thing right now makin up the kit parts to convert to bars. good info there about the N top clamp not working.

A little this?

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. I'm waiting to hear back on a couple of feelers here and two the the local forums. I'd like to keep the stock tree in addition to having another clamp to drill. I've got the stock clip ons along with the convertibars but they are a little too much for me in my old age. I'd like to throw on some nice super bar type along with some steel braided lines.

im sayin fuck it, im drillin and mounting the Renthals i was selling from speedy. the little holes wont bother me, never did on the speed either. we drilled sk8lins top clamp, and there was no backing used, she has dropped a few times and hasnt broken it even when its landed straight on the end of the bar, so i wouldnt worry to much about strength especially if you have to use spacers because the bolts that come with the bar clamps are a little to long in the shank area. get some alum bar stock cut it to a nice polygonal shape that fills the cavity and call it christmas. i'll make cardboard templates for drilling and the filler plates if you like.
