anabatic1 · September 23rd, 2006, 07:06 AM

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

Sime · September 23rd, 2006, 07:13 AM

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 · September 23rd, 2006, 08:55 AM

No it wont

xraycatj · September 23rd, 2006, 11:00 AM

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 · September 23rd, 2006, 02:59 PM

anabatic1 · September 23rd, 2006, 03:49 PM

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

the hornet uses conventional forks

speedextreme · September 23rd, 2006, 07:28 PM

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.

**bikerdave** · September 23rd, 2006, 09:12 PM

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.

Yeah, I believe it is the Hornet.

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** · September 24th, 2006, 12:37 PM

If I'm reading these posts right, which is always a question

,
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 · September 25th, 2006, 05:44 AM

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** · September 26th, 2006, 02:08 PM

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.

66droptop · September 26th, 2006, 05:44 PM

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

japanese90022 · September 27th, 2006, 09:58 AM

Yeah.. Ductape Fixes just about anything.......

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

**bikerdave** · September 27th, 2006, 02:58 PM

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.
