axulsuv Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Don't they just have fork protectors attached ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Looks like the break line for the front break is routed through the stearing head, much like a BMX bike. With the portion of the Forks "missing" between the lower and upper triple clamps I think he can spin his handlebars 360 deg. much like on a BMX bike. ???????????

I also think they are the 360 forks like the BMX guys use. Is this the same Freddie Crosset that was the 2002 NATC Pro Champ here in the US, or maybe his son?

bilc0 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Yer pretty much the same kind of fork's fitted to mountain bike's. Bet your looking at 2 grand+ set of forks there. Edited June 21, 2008 by bilc0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laser1 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Looks like he did a wild shave job on the ft tire. That lower tripple clamp setup looks pretty beefy. Did he have to switch to a mechanical ft disk brake ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarity3232 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Just my two cents, BUT he cannot spin his bars 360 , as he still has a clutch line normally routed, that would interfere with that. if you look at the other pics, you can see it does allow him to go well past what would be full lock on a stock GG or any other bike for that matter ! Just an expensive customization as far as i can tell !! But very cool looking ! CJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Not sure if Crosset's bars will do a complete 360, but Travis Pastrana did outfit an MX bike with 360 bars. So it can be done, just not sure if it was done to this trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axulsuv Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Boy , I'm not real observant !!! I didn't even notice the clamps ... But to do 360's the throttle and clutch would have to pass thru the center too , So this bike turns far past 90degrees so you can turn around inside your own wheelbase without hopping ! BUT WHY ??? Bottom clamps do look quite strong though ! Glenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bilc0 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) The bar lever's don't look hydraulic so he can disconnect front brake as and when,don't know how he could do with out a clutch though.
