Do you think the triple tree clamps could spread enough to accomidate a 46mm fork?

What is the stock size? 44mm? It may be a possibility but would it hold securely, What if you took of the triple clamp and had them machined larger to fit?

Machining is the only way to go.

x2 11, They need to be machined to the correct size! The forks are 41mm. if I'm not mistaken. I had a set of extensions that went back because they were 40mm. When you clamp, or spread to a different size the hole becomes oval not round. All. doesn't bend well and I would be worried it would crack.

Hey Urban, I would also be concerned about less strength in triple trees after machining due to less material to hold clamping force. 5mm is near 3/16" and computes to 3/32" thinner wall size than 41MM.

Thanks guys... I was sitting at work thinking about the front brakes on our bike. I was thinking if the Raider front forks would fit in the trees. Like I said I just thinking....lol... sometimes that is a bad thing..

Thinking is good Urban! How about the whole raider front fork/triple tree assy on the Stryker!?

That is a possibilty, I would need to get some measurements first.

Bearings are different part numbers. So an easy swap is probably out of the question. What about low and mean. They make tripple clamps for the raider. how about triple clamps for the stryker for larger forks. Only issue I see is the rake difference the raider forks I would assume are shorter. So on the stryker with more rake the bike would sit lower.
