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
