Anyone ever Bought these Triple Clamps?
Has anyone ever bought or seen these triple clamps from Style and Performance or dealt with the company, if so are they worth the $850 usd and what is the overall quality like.
I am thinking of buying them purely for cosmetic upgrade over the stock triples but as its quite alot of money and i know nothing about them i was hoping someone on here could advise or even maybe link me to alternatives.
Plus i cant tell from the photo if the stem is made from Steel or alloy?
It would also be interesting to know what grade of alloy they are machined from.
Ta!
Matt

I believe that Hyperstrada77 has them on his bike - might be worth a PM to him to see what he thinks. I've seen them too and really love the look of them but don't know if I want to go there... yet. Let us know what you find.

No, my triples came with the Ohlins forks..
There's some info here, DesmoWorks sells them.
I think Borracho had these when he had his Hyper, drop him a PM.

You only get the triple, mine are Rizoma risers which I bought separately.
Please note, if you order the triples order at the same time the riser bearings (rd. 20 US) from Ducati since you will not succeed to get the old out of the stock triple. To get the bearings into the new triple, put the triple into your kitchen oven and the bearings into the freezer. You need a pipe with same diameter as the bearings. But some oil onto the bearings and gently drive the bearings into the triple. One or two hammer strokes onto the pipe would do.
Since you put all apart, check your steering bearing, if it is worn out replace it at the same time. That's a job for your Duc dealer.
Sounds all complicated, it is not, it took me 3 hours to complete.

Very nice looking! Do these also save any weight?
