So i have a set of rm85 forks and im trying to track down some clamps that will accept them. I know vinco made a set but are they the only company that did? I think they are shut down now so im kinda wondering if anyone knows of someone who has a set or a company that can make me a set? I think i might be out of luck.

I have zokes now and they are just a mm or two smaller, im wondering if i can machine the tripples to accept the other forks but i dont want the aluminum to be to thin and break on a hard landing. Has anyone tried this?

There cheap just to to eBay and type in cr85 clamps or type it In on google cr85 or cr85 expert you can get them for less then $100 or some super sweet anodized ones from applied or other companies for a couple hundred

I was thinking about doing that but the triples for the 85's are a bit wider and the handle bar mounts are to close to the rider, and also the fender and number plate will not bolt up correctly and i will have to drill the fender and make some brackets for the number plate and i think it would start to look stupid with a harley wide glide looking front end haha

Im on it... be patient grass hoppa ;) And by the way, your putting 85 suspension on a mini, your gonna most likely gonna have to do some light fabbing such as drilling a hole or taking a bit off of bar stops

What you mean? If you have showas your gunna use 85 triples and your gunna have to use the cr85 number which looks better and of course your prolly gunna have to drill holes in the fender not once has a fender just bolted onto a set of triples for me so I guess I'm use to it like my first set of zokes I put on my 2010 so I had to drill a couples holes and I just put a 2012ktm 65 front fender On my second set of zokes which is on my Primmy but it's simple

I've been working very close with Ron at RSWracing.com Check out the site and give him a call. We currently have a lower that will require no drilling, and excepts klx AND crf fenders. The uppers will fit a klx plate, but for a honda a small bracket will need to be made. (very simple) Clamps are 6 position adjustable, and are 6061 u.s. billet. Anodizing avalible... call Ron and tell him Kenny sent you. Between us we will make a set to fit whatever bike you want :)

Rswracing.com Guys name is Ron Wallace. Tell him Kenny sent you. Pm me your info because Ron doesn't know much about the stem applications to our bikes. I'll tell him what you need... he makes em for every bike/stem. I'm bias lol... I LOVE my clamps. They just look different from any other triple clamp out there.
