Hyper (non S) fork diameter?
Does anyone know, or can someone with a Hyper and a pair of calipers, measure, the fork diameter? I think the Monster's have a 50mm fork but I think the Hyper is different.
Anyone have any idea?
Thanks in advance.

50mm for all Hypers, except the 09 Hypers "S" had 48mm KYBs. Aloha Alex

So I measured mine (I had to go close to home for a meeting and dropped by) and it is actually 57mm and not 50mm.
Just so you guys know...

I had spoken to the guys from Woodcraft and they said that it was huge...so I wanted to make sure before I ordered anything and indeed it was huge..57mm.
I have a 2009 Hyper 1100 non S. Measured above the triple clamp and then below.

You need to measure the slider (male) tube

I was looking to install a set of clip on's with a 3" rise so it would have to go on the fork tube above the triple clamp...and mine are 57mm in diameter.
I know a bunch of guys will lambaste me for the want to have clip on's but anyway, they won't fit so i won't have any!
Dave, I'm not sure where you are suggesting I measure. Are they different on an "S" model?
