Topic: 750 header clamp size? Aluminum?

[Elan]

Hey guys,

Im away from my shop for a while but thats not stopping me from ordering things

Can someone tell me I.D of the header clamp?  1-1/2" ?

Think a thick aluminum collar could crack in this case?  or slightly under size it so it clamps to normal size? maybe just stick with good ol' steel?

Thanks!

Elan

Can't help with header clamp size but you can use aluminum. They don't need to be super tight to the bike, tight but not cranked out. The stock shims aren't exactly beefy pieces to begin with.

 Are you thinking something like this?

Those are nice Frank, you made those? I found a one piece design like yours and a two piece design, the id is 1.5"... I think I'll give them a shot

Better measure first, taking 3/32 out of a clamp all around can make it thin, plus bolts might hit the pipe
