A bit of a confession to make.

Well, through a contorted turn of events over the winter, starting with the powdercoaters botching the job my original upper triple clamp, I wound up with no less than 3 upper triple clamps.

I had found this nifty billet triple on EBAY and turned Safe-T onto it, figuring it was a bit spendy for me at the time.
He in turn, bought it and sold me his OE Honda one to replace my buggered one:

Well, after chewing on it for some time, I bit the bullet and got one, they were just too dang nice.

BUT, it wasn't black, and didn't match the bike.

What to do, what to do.

AHA, get it anodized black! idea3.gif

Isn't it to drool for?

Sorry Rick, I just had to. If it's any consolation, your triple went to a good home.
It is residing in Texas and will wind up on Larry's '93 Viffer. 491.gif

That's hot! wink.gif

It looks top notch! It is definately to drool for. =]

Does it happen to do anything better than the original, other than look incredibly good?

That's pretty sweet looking upgrade....and it certainly is to drool for...now where's that :drool: smilie...?

NICE.....

Other than bling, is there another reason for owning?

thanks

This is now on your RC51 front end, right? So does that make this triple a match for a VFR or a 929/954?

It's the 929/954 application. Which of course has the same centres as the RC51 lower triple. Bolts right on.

The manufacturer has this blurb as to why I should own one:

Give your bike the factory look with a VORTEX Triple Clamp. Machined from solid billet, these clamps are much stronger than stock units. Increased strength help reduce fork flex, creating a more stable front end.

Of course, I just bought it because it looks like moto-porn. warranty.gif

There's one sitting on my bench right now....

MOTO PORN. I like it.

Wow that does look sweet. Mind me asking what it cost to get into moto porn goofy.gif

And what of those nifty blue roto-farkles on top of the fork tubes? Those can be obtained...where?

Best,

120 US bones for the triple clamp, 20 loonies to have it stripped, and 60 more Canadollars for anodizing.

CTS Moto.

Same guys doing the group buy on the Pazzo levers.

No problem - share the wealth. That looks nice in black, too. On the other hand, now I have to get mine gold plated or something...you are costing me a fortune, Rob goofy.gif
