Billet Top Triple Clamp
« on: May 24, 2004, 10:35:51 AM »
Does anyone know who makes a billet top triple clamp for a 2004 KX500 other than Scotts ?  I've tried Pro-Circuit, Pro-Taper, and Tag.  Can't find anything.  Applied just shows a picture of their clamp.  No model specs..

Got the BRP clamps (top and bottom), and everything fit great.  Those guys at BRP were wonderful.  After shipping the clamps (and a billet gas cap for my IMS tank), I started to put them up against my bike and realized that the BRP clamps did not have the mount for the brake cable router by the number plate.  I was bummed because I was slotted to ride the next morning.  I went to the local shop and they didn't have anything.  To my surprise, when I got home, there was a courier at my door with an envelope from BRP.  I contained an IMS brake cable router that you simply bolt onto the number plate.  WOW !!  I didn't even ask for that.  What a great outfit.  

Thanks for the reference to BRP.

Yes!!! Those BRP guys are awesome. They came through for me too. The IMS brake cable stay is perfect and will look a little better than the stocker anyway. Good luck with your bike.

You know, Ty Davis fame to glory on his tanks are that they are custom designed by him, mfg by IMS, with the idea to keep the width of the tank as close to stock as possible while placing the additional fuel to the lower portions of the tank.  He went so far with the KX-500 that he designed a custom pipe, mfg by Flow, to replace the stock 500 pipe and that's where the additional gallon goes.  I ran this bike with both stock and Ty Davis, forth and back (keep in mind, it's impossible to go back and forth), and I could not tell the difference other than the Ty Davis tank is slightly higher than stock.  I love it.  I still can't get the range out of my bike that other's on this site claim.  So far, I can get about 70 miles on a moderate run.  I wish I could get more, but even on the Baja rides, that's plenty.  I carry 2 litres in my backpack so that extends the range about 13 miles.  I've done everything from gearing changes, torque spacers, power now, reed valve, racing fuel, forth and back.  And I can't get the range up..  Oh well....  Maybe I should slow down !! :-)
