I just love the clamps with the swivel pin im gowing to have to get a set for my bike

[vort28]

2Bims , SHAME ON YOU , I can see a spot of muck there

[2bims]

Yep I see it, bottom right of the trianglular recess on left clamp outer face, a slight spec, many apologies, I'll get right on it

[Norbo]

I want to get a set for my Hybrid. what bikes are they fitted to so i know what to ask for when i try to order a set

[2bims]

For sure, they are fitted to the Bimota DB6R, and possibly the Bimota DB6...perhaps also the Bimota DB9 Bravado...and thats it...Only made for Bimota, by Bimota...thats what they do, so dont be thinking that Busters or ebay will have them. Give Armin of DRT schneider in Germany a go, never let me down yet for bits I want, and seems pretty good at getting things for new Bimotas. If you need I'll measure up the Bar diameter at the clamps, as the bars have extruded tapers to the bar ends, and the clamp are suitably sized for the extra dia of the bars at the clamp points...Best of luck, jsut post if you cant find Armin contacts

[2bims]

Just had a quick look at a standard DB6, as opposed to the "R" model, and the same hinged clamps are used on that model also...But...and I'll confirm later, it does appear that the bottom half of the raised clamps are actually "integral" to the top yoke...i.e. they started off with a humongous piece of Billet and have milled it away to make the top yoke and bar risers as one whole piece..Thus it would be difficult to replicate exactly without making up a whole new Yoke, together with 50mm Marzocchi fronts....Gulp,,,now I've looked at piccies, I defo have to check for real whather thats what theyve done...

If you look at the second pic you can clearly see its a bolt on part . even bimota arnt that crazy to make the top yoke and clamp out of a MASIVE pice the size of a foot ball .

[Norbo]

Can some one just give me a link to a place i can order these clamps from . Ive spent 20 mins serching the web for a parts suplyer and coming up with nothing . Even put in DRT schneider and still getting nothing can some one help .

[2bims]

Apologies, I normally make life easier for people, but have been a bit busy as of late, am happy to report that the clamps arent integral to the top yoke, reflective light from shiney things was playing tricks on me, they have a hidden bolt fixing under the top yoke

I also note that Armin has recently introduced an English Language page, what a wonderful chap he is, possibly due to this Forum and the folk that now buy from him...Progress, thats what we like to see

cheers. I did fined that site in the end with a google search but have had no reply. I even sent them the same pics just to be on the safe side and told them the bike you say they are off. .

[2bims]

Armins a good guy, but no English, so uses translate tools, be patient, as hes away a lot, bimota spares is hardly a full time business'!

[Norbo]
