KZ1100R Upper Triple Clamp?
29 May 2013 21:53
Hey all! Been a while since I've been on-SLOWLY working on rebuilding my 82 GPZ11. Been toying with the possibility of swapping/replacing the upper triple clamp to use conventional bars instead of the stock cast ones. It appears the only thing that MAY interchange and keep the ignition switch in the correct position is one from a KZ1100R.I can modify my existing clamp but feel terrible about drilling in where it's in such good shape and would be usable to someone else,but as a last resort....
Anyway,since the 1100R was a Canadian/European model I can't seem to find any info about it so reaching out to the community ! Is it possible to find a used piece? Any ideas where to look? Is it even possible? Any ideas greatly appreciated !!
Thanx
Rick

There are at least a couple guys here that could make you one.
Leon (531blackbanshee I think) and Lou Holtz.
Or you can design one and get it made at most machine shops, for a price.
Or (almost forgot about this one) search the web for "online machine shop", there are a couple at least that will let you use their software to design it, then they make it and send it to you.

If you want to do it on the cheap, you can get a block of aluminum, and with a drill motor, saber saw, and a couple of files, you can make your own.
