Subject: Triple Clamps RD04/07 identical?
Hi all
A friend of ours and reader of this list has crashed his
Twin. Quit a few things are broken, the most important
damage was done to the triple clamps (Gabelbrücken in german).
I was about to offer him my pair of intact clamps from my
older Rd04. He has asked his dealer who then asked Honda
germany, and they say that RD04 parts won't fit to the
RD07 because of a different steering angle (?).
The Honda Workshop Manual for the RD04 claims a steering
angle of 27°36', the Bucheli Manual for the RD07 says it
is 27°30'. This difference is within manufacturing an
measuring tolerance.
Does anyone have experience with interchanging such parts
between 07 and 04? Or could someone lookup the correct
Value in Honda's RD07 manual an post it to the list? The
Databases on atic.org has no detailed info on either of
these topics.
Thanx for your help
Marc
