Anyone know or can measure the fron forks for me? I think the are 45mm but they might be 41 mm Im trying to put fork mounted light on and need to know the fork size for the mounts.
I dont have a set of cali@ers to measure it with. ;)
Thanks

Jess from VA

45mm inverted fork, 130 mm travel

Be aware of travel for any clearance issues.

Thank you they are going just below the triple tree
so shouldnt be a problem

45 mm is the diameter of the fork sliders, not an ideal place to mount lights or anything else.

The diameter of the outer fork tubes just below the triple tree is approximately 58 mm tapering down to approximately 56 mm.

I just posted a thread on how I mounted my lights if you're interested http://www.valkyrieforum.com/bbs/index.php/topic,89992.0.html

Awesome where did you get the clamps from
I can find some but most are kinda ugly those I like

I purchases them from Partzilla, a little pricey but I didin't want to spend the next month looking for a used set.
