    Hi All,

    Would anyone have an F2 triple clamp on their bike or workbench for a quick dimension check?

    I'm after the overall thickness of the top clamp at the fork tube (i.e. where the clip-on mounts).

    Many thanks!

    Big3, could I trouble you for another micrometer check.

    What is the actual dimension of the F2 fork tube? Thanks!

    Yes, please. I would like to compare this to YZF600F fork tubes to double check that a CBR600F2/F3 triple clamp is compatible. In theory it should be but a double check is always good ;-)

    Thanks TOE. Both the F2/F3 and YZF600F fork tubes are 41mm nominal but I would like to double check, using a micrometer, what the actual OD is, of each.
