#272315 Mr Cancilla (User) Are ya kidd'in me! Gold Boarder Posts: 764 Handlebar top clamp question. 2 Years, 1 Month ago   My 01 has 2 individual top clamps. The new models (I believe 04 and up) have a single top clamp that covers both risers. My question is...will the newer 1 piece fit on my old risers? I'm assuming it would. I can't see why they would change the risers too, but I've seen stranger things! I just bought burly 1-1/4" bars, but they are 1" in the center which I want to hide with the one piece top clamp. Thanks!   Logged     My Album   The administrator has disabled public write access. #272335 droptopcaddy (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 255 Re:Handlebar top clamp question. 2 Years, 1 Month ago   i would like to have the one piece top clamp also   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #272338 billd (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1107 Re:Handlebar top clamp question. 2 Years, 1 Month ago   What is the center distance of your stock risers? It may be different than on newer bikes with one piece top clamps. I checked Baron's web site ( http://www.baronscustom.com/catalog/display/764/index.html ), and they show different bars for different year groupings. I replaced my stock risers on my '08 with Baron's DT risers so my original ones are in a box collecting dust. If they will fit your bike, perhaps we can work something out.

I'm seeing one part number and ALL Road Star years listed under fitment. That is telling me that the spacing has to be the same.   Logged     My Album   The administrator has disabled public write access. #272360 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

Question: If you decide to do interior wiring, wouldn't you want to hang on to the dual clamps so the bundle can exit between them?

Rich The one piece cover is open underneath so it still allows the wires to come out in the center and be hidden at the same time.   Logged     Last Edit: 2010/04/09 14:58 By Mr Cancilla.   My Album   The administrator has disabled public write access. #272395 old dog (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1601 Re:Handlebar top clamp question. 2 Years, 1 Month ago   The 07 clamp measures 4 1/4" across the the top studs center to center. The bottom studs measure 3 13/16, short distance between the two pairs is 1 1/2 C to C Hope that helps bill   Logged     110 cu in., PR/JE 10.25:1 HC pistons, PR Cam, PR adjustable push rods, PR stage II ported heads (2mm oversize valves)   The administrator has disabled public write access. #272400 TampaSVT (User) Life is hard.

Maybe I'm missing where this supposed hole is, but mine was just like this one... I polished every inch of it and I'm confident there was no hole... Possibly, there are two different 1-piece clamps based on model year?
