Been Around the Block
Anyone who has seen my build has seen the custom triple trees that I made to accommodate the forks/brakes I wanted to use. I found it very difficult to find custom triple trees, both with regard to dimensions and style. The designs I have created thus far are shown below.
I will be offering CB750 clamps in the early and late offset, as well as GL1000 clamps. I am also willing to work with someone who needs something even more custom, like specific offset or spread. Custom offset/spread items will need to be designed for the customer specifically and will take additional time, but NOT additional cost. I can also offer trees for any other stock application but will need your trees dimensions (offset, spread, fork diameter and stem diameter).
I realize there are many options available for the vintage bike enthusiast, but I think there is room for low volume, high quality hand-made items.
This stuff is not coming off of a $100k CNC mill but rather is rough cut via waterjet, then hand finished. Each triple will come standard with stainless Allen hardware for the stem pinch (if included) and the fork pinch. Each will also be media blasted for a uniform finish ready for powder. The work involved in hand polishing these items is more than I am prepared for currently, but others on the forum offer polishing for very reasonable prices.
I am currently offering the designs you see listed for $175. The dimensions I have set up currently will fit the early/late SOHC CB750 and GL1000. If there are features from multiple trees you would like to combine, I am happy to work with you on that venture. They will be cut from 1” stock to match the originals in dimension. There will be an additional $15 added for 1.25” to make up for the added cost of material. Generally speaking, cost for the finished product will vary about $15 per 1/4" of material from the 1"/$175 stated here.
Options available to the buyer for no additional cost are:
Recessed or standard stem pinch (where applicable) and fork pinch bolts. I can also add a relief (about 1/4”) to the underside of the clamp where the spanner nut for the stem goes to help drop the tree a bit and hide some of the nut. Please note that some of these designs are such that the rear part of the nut (closest to the rider) will show from the back.
Regarding any question of risk on the buyers’ part, I will stand behind these items 100% in the even that something does not fit correctly. I will do my best to make it right and to make you a happy customer.
I welcome any and all questions or discussion regarding these items.
Below are the designs I have so far as well as some in various states of completion.
