Gen 2 triple top clamp on gen 1?

[Lucid]

Mine is old, from 99 and either needs a powder coat or (preferably) just replace with gen 2 if possible. I've heard that gen 1 on 2 will engage the brake lever on full left (moving around garage), but 1) I have shorty Pazzo's and 2) this is gen 2 on a gen 1 bike, just to update the looks. I have the front lowered 1in via the triple spacer, if that matters.

i dont remember seeing a difference between the clamps. yes the gen 1 and gen 2 dash are different so maybe thats the only reasonone is hitting. u should be fine

Bought a mint one for $40, I'll try it out and let you guys know. Just little stuff to modernize our beloved Gen1s a bit.

Very interested in your result.

Yup let me know if this works becuase my top triple is scratched and needs powder coating or replacement.

Took 10mins. Swapped tonight and all seems fine. No clearance issues or anything. Haven't ridden it yet so we'll see 100% tomorrow but it seems like a straight swap. Looks more up to date too.
Now I just need to find my black screw caps to clean it up even more. But I like the small change. Daytime pics to come.

Very nice! Definitely looks a lot more modern. Thanks for posting up the results.

Sweet! It's a bolt in mod. Very nice!

Does it make the bike faster? LOL

Looks good!

Lol I didn't weigh them or anything but I highly doubt it! But this is one of the parts I look at the most and it was an eyesore to me, so I did a cheap swap. There are a few things on all of our bikes (okay, most) that we swap out just for looks. Or for that matter, do we buy cleaning supplies and clean our bikes so that they'll go faster or just for looks? (250mph+ guys not included lol)
