Other Top triple clamp that will fit the 1979 650z.
« on: March 24, 2015, 04:02:57 AM »
Anyone know of any other top triple clamp that will fit the 650 without major surgery?

I want to be able to fit different bar risers. The clamp that is on my 650Z is molded into the top clamp.

I don't believe you can shave them down. Reason being because of what they are like underneath....

Dime City Cycles has a generic top tree clamp that fits the 650. Maybe you can drill that to fit whatever risers you like?

A word of caution. The 650 used two different front fork spacings. The single disc front end was 182mm c-c, The dual disc front end was 192 mm c-c. If your 650Z has the dual disc make sure you confirm the fit on that piece.
