Gents,
I've run into an odd issue with my triple clamps. I have a cognito moto billet top triple clamp for the 35mm forks (mine's a 1980 XS). When I went to install it, the forks would not line up into the holes. After looking at it a bit, it appears that the steering stem hole does not line up with the stock stem. The hole is about 3mm to far towards the rear as seen in the photos. Anyway, they were kind enough to send me another just in case mine was cut wrong. So, I got that one the other day, and sure enough it doesn't line up either. So, are they not cutting these correct? I don't know. Maybe someone on the forum can comment from their experience.
However, maybe somethings up with the front end of my bike? I can't imagine a steering stem getting bent, but who knows? Looking for any ideas here.
Anyway, can some one also give me the center to center measurements for a 35MM fork year and stock front end? I'm looking for fork to stem and fork to fork. Thanks so much!
