Has anyone seen or tried the Free Spirits triple clamp offered on BelaCorse? http://www.bellacorse.com/bcc301.htm
The company, Free Spirits, did a Tridays bike that had USD forks. They also offer a triple clamp that accomodates USD Showa forks. Here is what they say: "Kit steering plates designed to accommodate USD Showa fork. Wheelbase as the original Speed Triple, and caster as the original Triumph Bonneville. Are these fabulous CNC machined billet triple trees, to fit Triumph Bonneville t100. Can be adapted also for Thruxton, Scranbler, and SE. Available in either black or natural silver finish."
On the Free Spirits website, http://www.freespirits.it/prodotti.php?lang=2&cat_id=631&prod_id=961
, they do not have a price listed for the UST triple but I am assuming that they make them for production similar to the standard clamps.
My question is this, are there USD Showa forks that can accomodate the standard thruxton/bonneville spoked front hub? I know brand new fork tubes would be expensive but if we can get them from a current production bike that might keep the cost down. The BelaCorse price for the standard tree's is not as bad as I would have expected at $550. I know alot of people like to go to mag wheels for tubeless and weight but I like my spoked wheels.
I think even if I can't figure out the USD option I might order the standard clamps because they are very nice looking and would clean up the front end since I have a top tree with bar mounts and use clipons. Anyone got any thoughts on this?
