Connecticut for now....
working on my next upgrade to my bike.... Since swapping to the XB triple tree on a tuber, you loose steering radius due to the offset, so I have design new triples to place XB forks in the stock tuber location.

just looking for feedback on the design and if anyone has any input.

one thing i forgot thats not in the design yet is a tab for mounting my side mounted steering damper

nice. I'm designing new triples for my 1125 also. In the lower triple on the front I also designed attachment points for tie down provisions. Making mine skeletonized though with x brace webbing in the high stress areas on the backwalls of the triples next to the fork tube bosses. Found these areas getting a little higher stress than I anticipated when running them through FEA.

I like the way that sounds.


Purpony, if you were to sell those I feel like there would be a significant interest in the tuber crowd. A lot of guys I have spoke to really want to do the xb front end swap. It will be one of the first things I do to my tuber when I own one someday. Looks good! :up:
 
Looks good. I would make the clamping rings wall thicker, at least 5 mm. Measure the original triple tree brackets. Also you can widen the triple tree and install 180 front wheel and 300-360 rear wheel
