Gent's, there are some nice triple clamps on these one off 3 wheelers. Those of you in the know, would you mind sharing photos and any tips when constructing triple clamps:

How far forward from the pivot point should the fork shafts be placed?

Should you put rake into the top and bottom clamps?

What size should the holes be?

What type and thickness aluminium are you using?

What is it costing?

Is there anyone making clamps to order?

Have you had any failures?

Talk to Jason Hall. He's got the whole triple clamp deal pretty much figured out.

When I made mine, I moved the steering stem location about a half inch further back than stock to compensate for the larger diameter forks. If I hadn't, the turning radius would have been a lot less than it was stock.

Jason does have the triples figured out. But if you want to make them yourself, I'll help out however I can.
