I was looking at that, too. I figured while most of the force would be concentrated at that ares, there isn't much force to begin with so it should be fine. Also, you can't really see it from the angel I took the picture, but that's a countersink for the M6 allen head, the actual through hole for the screw is much smaller. I might also make the joint where it steps down on the top have a radius, just so there isn't concentrated force at that joint, depending on how it looks I guess...

The only thing that concerns me right now is the strength of the bracket itself. I'm a little worried that if it gets smacked the screws will want to pull out. I might just have to take the console off when IO start doing tank tricks with my legs over the triples! Or maybe I would get enough strength from a steel threaded insert... I guess there's only one way to find out!

I'd buy one if the price is right.

[762SPR]

Hmmm, I'm not sure what a good price would be. Maybe $200 without the console bracket, $250 with it?

[Shane Klar]

i think that's a lil steep bro, especially for a design not tested yet....SI tripple is ballin and it's $225 on their website

[762SPR]

Haha I didn't even know they made something like this! How do they secure those onto the forks? It almost looks like they just run a set screw against the fork because there's no split?

I'm not really planning on marketing these, but while I'm setup for mine I could run a few extras. I could do $100 / $150 with the bracket. It may be unproven, but there's not much that can go wrong with a chunk of aluminum. And these will allow the mounting of your speedometer.

I believe the pics he has on his website are just mock up's, i'm pretty sure they are split drilled and tapped! tripple looks dope! Hope it works well for you!

Stock, cast aluminum triples.......have threads tapped into them, with no strength issues. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Looking good!

[762SPR]

Thanks! Actually, on my stock one the threaded part to keep the clipon from rotating is busted in half... Must have happened when it was wrecked by the P.O... I'm mostly concerned about force being applied to the top of the console and levering it up or down. That's one of the reasons I wanted to make it come off so easily.

Almost done with the main triple! This thing is looking pretty sick!

You didnt realize 2 other company's manufacture an upper triple that allows you to run ur clipons on top without lowering?

Hohey designs was the first to make and mass produce these.
Sick Innovations took it a step further and mounted reservoirs in the triple
