Handlebar clamp(s) M900

Mr Gazza · 30-12-2019, 04:34 PM

I wonder if anyone could help me out with a handlebar clamp which I could buy, or borrow for a couple of months?
Just the top part of the four hole one as pictured would be fine, but if you have a complete pair of the two hole ones including the bottom halves that would be good too.
Scruffy is fine but not cracked please..

Cheers.

I have a pair of shorter risers from another ducati, along with a pair of two-hole top clamps.
I bought them from Nasher a while back but without any definite plan to use them .. I just thought they would give me a few possible options for the future and were worth having, since the bike is a keeper.
Dunno if any or all of that would be of any use to you but if so, you'd be more than welcome to a borrow.

Thanks Jeff. This is part of a somewhat bifurcated plan. I intend to do some artwork on my 4 hole clamp top, so wanted a temporary replacement whilst that was going on, so's I don't miss any rides. After that the clamp would be spare.. But, the SS project will also end up with Monster yokes, or at least a top yoke, and I would like to fit that with a pair of single clamps on short risers.
So while I only need a 4 hole clamp temporarily, the two hole set would do that job and then come in for the SS permanently.

I thought it rather unnecessary to explain that in the original appeal, but in fact the plan could even be tri-furcated (if that is a word?) as there is a connection in this with the ongoing trophy project.. If you gently heat your screen the message will appear between the lines..

So I'm looking to buy or borrow a 4 hole clamp or buy a full set of two holers.

I'm also in the market for a Monster top yoke or a full set, again scruffy but straight is fine as they will be polished.

Thanks for listening..

Yes I did Rob, that's where I nicked the picture from..

I always think it's nicer to keep it in the family..

slob · 31-12-2019, 10:12 AM

the family has to adopt occasionally, otherwise there’d be almost no spares ;-)

Nasher · 31-12-2019, 03:59 PM

Hey Mr G.

Didn't you purchase a pair of 2 hole clamps from me a while ago?

EDIT
Sorry Mr G, it was Utopia, and it was the risers only.

Nasher.

I’ve a spare set of monster yokes (About 1995 model year from memory). I’ll dig them out and take some photo’s next year!

Mr Gazza · 31-12-2019, 07:27 PM

Well I think I have solved the need for temporary clamps on the Monster. I remembered buying a riser kit for possible use on the Commando, it turns out the top clamps will fit.

I also had a better look at the SS and it seems that I will need the taller risers, as my Sie does to clear the fork top adjusters. The forks protrude from the top yoke a lot on the SS as the clip-ons fit above the yoke. I won't know if I will raise the front end to calm the steering down until I ride it in it's new guise, so best allow plenty of room around there.

Darkness you're a star. I'm sending you a PM about my plans.

Happy New Year Mr. Gazza.

Photo’s as promised last year:

They even have handlebar clamps, albeit the shorter ones for non adjustable forks.

As it's you, How about free? You can have them for just the postage.

Mr Gazza · 02-01-2020, 03:41 PM

Well! Star doesn't cover it.. Thank you Darkness..

The handlebar clamps and risers will be just the ticket, with my riser kit I can sort out exactly what's going on with the bars and forks. That's me sorted..

PM on it's way..
