Author Message   S1owner Posted on Sunday, October 14, 2012 - 04:34 pm:        Looking for a lower handle bar clamp for my 96 S1   Buelliedan Posted on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - 10:42 am:        not sure what you are talking about as they only have a removeable clamp on top. What is a lower handlebar clamp?   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - 07:30 pm:        Well i should look in the manual i assume i am missing it i have crossroads bars currently can see the top clamp with the instrument cluster but do not see a lower round clamp area to match?   Blks1l Posted on Tuesday, October 16, 2012 - 11:35 pm:        S1owner you are correct, on the early S1's they had 2 bolt on adapters LH and RH. If they are not there though what are the Crossroads bars attached to?   S1owner Posted on Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 07:07 am:        I do have two mounts one left one right that they are bolted to but they are flat they do not have a curved knurled area for the bars!   1313 Posted on Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 12:12 pm:        IIRC, the knurling was on the handlebars and not the handlebar clamps. The lower handlebar clamps, whether separate pieces as on the early S1's or incorporated into the upper triple clamp as on everything later, should have a curved cutout for the bars to fit into. In times like these pictures are indeed worth 1,000 words, 1313   S1owner Posted on Wednesday, October 17, 2012 - 08:52 pm:          1313 Posted on Thursday, October 18, 2012 - 12:19 pm:        Those black 'blocks' on the upper triple don't look anything like the OE early S1 lower handlebar clamps. The OE pieces definitely have a cutout for the bars to run through. The 'blocks' look more like they are part of the risers to me than handlebar clamps. I would think finding original individual early S1 lower handlebar clamps would be akin to finding hens teeth, but never say never as you never know what 'leftovers' there are from mutant conversions. As a fallback, you'd be able to use a later S1 (or S3) upper triple clamp that has the lower handlebar clamps incorporated into it - obviously with the powdercoating to match what you've done already. The height of the bars above the upper triple clamp should be the same height whether the lower handlebar clamps are separate or incorporated. Hope this helps, 1313   Blks1l Posted on Friday, October 19, 2012 - 09:13 am:        Are you trying to put standard bars back on it, if so, let me see what I have. Might be able to work something out for the Crossroads.   S1owner Posted on Sunday, October 21, 2012 - 09:31 am:        Yes i am thinking about trying them let me know if you have the parts   Blks1l Posted on Sunday, October 21, 2012 - 12:09 pm:        Well I thought I had a couple of sets from etra parts I have acquired, but it looks like I only have the one set and want to hold onto them as spares for now. As 1313 mentioned the easiest option would be to find a later model upper tree with the built in mounts. Sorry   S1owner Posted on Saturday, October 27, 2012 - 03:33 pm:        Bump anyone   S1owner Posted on Tuesday, December 04, 2012 - 12:48 pm:        I found some at vintage parts cost me 100 bones for the pair but not easy to come buy so what you do! At least i found them
