The handlebar clamp is machined from 6061 aluminum and then anodized to withstand the elements. They are made to match your specific bikes bolt pattern while locating the stabilizer directly over the center line of the steer tube, which is mandatory for correct function. The handlebar clamp must exactly match the application specified. The barclamp adds rigidity to any application, with our without a stabilizer, as the integral struts form a structural bridge preventing flex at the bar mount position. These must be ordered and used for specific applications, with reference to the triple clamps and handle bar location being used. Using an incorrect barclamp can prohibit, and even damage, the function of the stabilizer. Not sure? Give us a call and we'll be glad to help you find the correct clamp or verify if one you have already will work on another application.
