WTB top triple clamp 2011 EC 250

[jdalton1]

I have stripped a bolt and will need a new top triple clamp. Anyone have one? If so, how much do you want for it? Oem or aftermarket... Thanks

Which bolt? It can probably be repaired for cheaper than a replacement.

Either tap it out a size larger or have a heli coil installed. I had the lower bolts seize on my 03. We just tapped them out to the next size thread.

I have an oem one...

I broke off the bolt extractor bit inside the bolt trying to back it out, now I have hardened steel inside of it that will be tough to drill out. It's the top left bolt. After my ride this weekend, my plan is to work on the bolt head with a drill bit to release the pressure on the pinch clamp or use a dremel tool to cut the bolt where it pinches together. I tried JB welding an allen wrench, but that didn't work either. I may try the tap / heli coil option, but if someone on the forum has upgraded triple clamps and has the oem sitting around they don't need, this may be an easier option versus trying to get through the hardened extractor bit. All this for a GPR stabilizer.... Cascade Crawler, I have shot you a pm.

I have a BRP clamp complete with bar and handguard mounts as well.

I have used brp clamp only. From an '08. $50.

Thanks on the BRP, I spoke to those guys originally and they stated their product will not work with the GPR stabilizer I have. CascadeCrawler has offered up his oem clamp, I'm meeting the mechanic this friday to give it one last try with a bead weld before reaching back out to CascadeCrawler to see if his is still available.
