Author Message   Puddlepirate Posted on Saturday, September 22, 2007 - 09:34 pm:        I'm looking for a set of tuber headlight brackets for the 54mm inverted forks that I can put on my XL/XB. If you have them please let me know. Thanks   Betzy Posted on Thursday, September 27, 2007 - 12:10 am:        Hey PP, I have an 02 X1 is that the bracket your looking for? Betzy   Puddlepirate Posted on Thursday, September 27, 2007 - 05:44 pm:        I think so, but with the information that I got this week, I'm trying to do a little more research on it. I didn't realize that the tuber inverted forks are almost 54mm the entire way down, so they may not work. Do you know what the inside diameter of the clamps are? I've got to measure my XB forks and then find out if they will work. I know that the M2 clamps are about 45mm, so if the X1 clamps are in fact 54mm I may be able to rig up some sort of spacer for the brackets to get them to fit. If you have an idea of a price in mind, please email or PM me: richhelton84 @ yahoo.com I'll go make the measurements and then decide if I think I can get them to fit. Thanks   Puddlepirate Posted on Thursday, September 27, 2007 - 09:11 pm:        Well, the place that the clamps could clamp to are just about 51mm in diameter, and 4.25in long. Maybe the clamps will fit? If you could provide that measurement, that would be fantastic.   Betzy Posted on Saturday, September 29, 2007 - 08:26 pm:        Yup that is what mine is also, why do they call these 54mm forks? This bracket holds the headlight and the front fairing or wind screen if you call it that. Mine is black and in mint condition.   Betzy Posted on Saturday, September 29, 2007 - 08:27 pm:        Forgot to mention this off a 02 X1   Puddlepirate Posted on Saturday, September 29, 2007 - 09:23 pm:        Sounds good. Email me a price with shipping to 04096 and we'll talk. If you send/sent me a PM, I won't be able to get to it until monday. My other email is down. My richhelton84 @ yahoo.com address is all good though. The 54mm measurement apparently comes from the diameter where the triple clamps go. I don't know why the forks aren't one diameter the entire way down.
