Anyone have alternative handlebar holder caps?

I want to replace the single, bridge style, handlebar holder cap on my CF with two separate caps so that I have the handlebar space between the caps to mount an accessory (GPS) holder. I know that there are many other ways to do this but I've been looking at hdlparts microfiche for the VTX and the handle bar holder caps look like just the ticket and they're reasonably cheap. Has anyone gone this route and found some caps that fit? The hdlparts link for the VTX is http://www.hdlparts.com/fiche_section_detail.asp?section=532058&category=Motorcycles&make=Honda&year=2006&fveh=12171

OEM Magna clamps.  You can't see them very well in this pic, but you get the idea.

Exactly right! Any info on the year, model that these are from? So many Magna's so little time. I'll likely have to order on-line and would love to get it right the first time.

Those came from a '97 Magna, but all the third generation Magnas (93 - 2002(?)) should be the same.  Ebay, salvage yard or HDL should have them.

I've replaced my single top clamp with a pair off of a '04 VTX 1300.  Fit perfect  :cooldude:

Thanks for that. I was just comparing the Magna ad VTX and they use the same part number. They're on order now. Thanks all!

The VTX 1300 and VT1100 shadows fit. I found caps in a salvage yard for $10 (for 2).
