anyone recognise this?

[Guest]

I'm trying to identify this triple clamp, anyone got any clues?
Bear in mind that it looks like the instrument mounting bracket has been chopped off the front and also it has been chromed later in life, it didn't leave the factory chromed

Looks almost identical to a GS1000 or 1100, ground the front and the bar mounts and re-drilled for aftermarket bar risers.




poor edit, but you get the idea

Agree with old_skool, those drilled holes never came from the factory either.

Nope, I'm sure they were drilled to install different risers for the bars, I'm thinking they probably shaved them off originally thinking they would use bars that clamp on the forks, and ended up needing the risers back.

And thus the chrome to hide and clean up the grinding.

chrome won't hide any imperfection, it's the worse thing you can finish something with as it shows all the finish.

got it sorted, indeed it is a gs1000 one thanks folks

Those look to be off an early Intruder.

I thought the same thing at first with the chrome and center holes, but the mounting is all wrong, it's from a big GS, 1000 or 1100

I had a Honda 650 custom here that has a triple clamp very similar to that.
