will a

[anabatic1]

will a 954 triple tree clamp the top clamp that is fit on a 98-99 900rr

[Sime]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news....

Nope.

Not a chance. Two reasons.

1. the fork tubes are 50mm diameter on the 29/54 and the 900RR's are 45mm diameter
2. the spacing for the 29/54 forks are wider than the 900RR's.

If you want that triple, you'll need to do the entire 29/54 front end swap, as I, and a number of others here have done.

Cheers,

[R1eater]

No it wont :)

[xraycatj]

definitely won't fit...:D :Poke

[anabatic1]

welll looks like im just going to powder coat mine then, i just want a bblack one ;)~

[bikerdave]

On the questioin of fork tube sizes.
If the '98 - '99 900 fork tubes are 45 mm, what size are the
fork tubes on the 919?
Are they by chance 45 mm also?

[sonik_fury]

you saw mine right...........

[anabatic1]

yea and i like yours tahts why i was wondering but i love the look of the 954s

the 919 blade or the hornet? the 98-99 blade is the 919 motor.

the hornet uses conventional forks

[speedextreme]

If you mean the Honda 919 "Hornet" the forks are conventional 43mm I believe.

And I thought the 900's (98-99) forks were wider apart than the 929/54??? I could have sworn the 954 setup I have was a little bit closer together than the 900's??? I could be wrong.

Anything can be made to do anything... with proper application of the hammer. :CY

[bikerdave]

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly folks.
The bike I am talking about is Honda's naked bike
that is a more sit up riding position than the blade's
racing sitting position.
I thought it was called the 919.
It uses a 919 motor that is supposedly tuned & camed for a
broader torque curve rather than the more peaky
blade motor.
I don't know if it is a honda hornet.:CONF

Well, the fork tubes on the 29/54 are 50mm, and the 900RR's are 45mm. So there's a 5mm size differential on each fork. Visually, the forks would look closer together because of this.

Also, the 29/54/RC51 wheel hub is the same tapered type as the 98-99 900RR and they both are 3.5" wide. If the hubs are the same width (29/54/51 type could be wider again than the 900RR), then the 29/54 forks would be at least the same space apart as the 98-99 900rr, but would look narrower than 900RR because of the bigger forks.

[bikerdave]

If I'm reading these posts right, which is always a question:CONF ,
the forks on the '98 - '99 900RR are 43 mm and the forks on
the honda hornet 919 are also 43.
Is this correct?
I'm thinking of this for making mods to a '98 - '99 blade for a
street fighter.

[speedextreme]

Sorry Dave, the Hornet has the 43mm forks. The 98-99 900's have 45mm forks.

My neighbor has a 919 Hornet and wanted to get some better forks. Well since I did the 954 upgrade, we were going to use my 900 forks on his Hornet. Well they don't fit. The bad thing about the Hornets forks is that they are NON adjustable too. That sucks!!!

But I hope I cleared it up for you. If you want to do a Streetfighter style setup, get the bar risers/clamps from one of the aftermarket companies that sells them for our bikes. There are a few out there who sell them.

Laters.

[bikerdave]

Yea, thanks speed.
That does clear it up.
I was hoping, you know how that goes.
I thought it would be easier in I could "just" switch the
handle bars straight over.
Yea, I have been seeing spiegler, the people who make
brake lines and such advertising some of those kind of
handle bar rigs.
I'll look into that when I get to that project.
I some how believe that most of us on this site can
identify with that.:flame

[66droptop]

Wrap them in duct tape to make those 43mm's become 45's

[japanese90022]

Yeah.. Ductape Fixes just about anything.......:pound:nuke

in the end.... you can use that Ductape to strap the bike on a tow truck(In peices)... and your broken limbs too:D

[bikerdave]

Rob,
thanks for the suggestion.
I was wondering about that.
Years ago, I had a CB750C that had a crash bar on it.
I put hiway pegs on it and they kept slipping.
A friend of mine at the time suggested wrapping the
bar in leather and then tightening the pegs down hard.
It worked for years.
Some combination of tape, leather or another type of
wrap should work.:V

[jawhn]

They're kidding, Dave. Do not use duct tape or leather to 'make it work'... You might realize this, but your response sounded sincere and scared me.

[japanese90022]

ummm... PLEASE DO NOT USE DUCTAPE or LEATHER on a bike to fill gaps or as a resolvement... it was sarcasm from me hoping that you got it... Like I've mentioned before on another posting, don't rig anything when your life is at stake on 2 wheels. ESPECIALLY when it comes to Suspention and Braking!! Go cheap on looks but not on safety. Repeat after me.... SAFETY FIRST!!!!:modalert

[66droptop]

I am so sincere! DO IT! DOOOOO IIIIIIIITTTTT!!!!! :CY

[gixerkiller]

duct tape works well for other things to.....like taping up one of your drunk buddies naked to a tree in front of the school....................taping up the plastic that the dead bodies are in.........repairing water hoses......

[japanese90022]

LMAO... the forum's changed directions to DUCT TAPE as the topic!:confused::reallyscared

[anabatic1]

hmmmmmmmmmm duct duct goose

[jawhn]

If it can't be fixed with duct tape, a hammer or a pair of vice grips...

...it ain't broke!

[gixerkiller]

it seems to work on hardleys pretty well!!!!!lol

Double negatives... So you're saying that if it is fixable with duct tape, a hammer, or a pair of vice grips, it is broken.

I'm a big fan of that shiny aluminum ventilation tape. Duct tape is too gooey. Aluminum tape is heat resistant and, best of all, shiny! My fairings and the underside of my tank are coated to keep things from melting and cut down on heat soak.

you frogot twine and bailing wire for the exhaust...:hijack

[bikerdave]

Sorry, I missed the sarcasim.;DOH
OOps.:D

[66droptop]

There's no twine or bailing wire in my exhaust system. I paid good money for completely custom work and then got it coated by HPC.

But if twine and wire could make me fast... ;)

Nah, the saying goes:
If you can fix it, duct it
If you can't duct it, Fcuk It !!

I was quoting something I've heard, not stating my own opinion.

Jackass. :D

Rob's become grammar cop. Everyone on alert! Is that part of your qualification procedure? :rolleyes:

it does make you faster....it has less weight than the real exhaust hanger
plus if you muffler falls of you shed a bunch more weight while your racing.

less weight= faster times:pound

Um, I don't have a muffler. :D

[gixerkiller]

Um, I don't have a muffler. :D

ok well the fuel tank or the brake caliper........you get the idea. thats why all the hillbillies do it
