Adjustable offset triple clamp (upper)

We developed these triple clamps to correct a severe handling issue induced by the installation of GSX-R1100 forks on an FXR with the standard GSX-R triple clamps. The GSX-R clamps have far too little offset, which creates excessive trail. These triple clamps reduce the trail to below the stock FXR's, have ±6mm of adjustment, and produce handling uncharacteristically good for a Harley-Davidson. Each set of bushings has a set of steering stops that goes with it, which, if the bushings are reversed, is also reversed (see lower clamp).
