Anyone know the actual offset of the O.E. triple clamps in mm? Looking to swap front ends again this time to an Ohlins unit from an Aprilia Tuono R with radial brakes etc.

Any help is appreciated

For those that haven't seen it:

 

clean looking nine.. so do u already know if the Aprilia will slide right into your triples or do you have to use Aprilia's everything.. triples,rim,calipers..
also if your using the aprilia stuff do you want someone to just go out and measure between the upper and lower tree in millimeters?? is that what your asking? also if you are then i can only assume you already have changed you front end once before and arnt sure,, whats in there now?? just curious..

Thanks Jay.
I'm looking to use the Aprilia front wheel, Ohlins forks and custom triples. What I'm looking for is the distance from the center line of the fork tubes and the steering stem as viewed from the top.
Distance "D" in this illustration


I'm trying to get as close as I can to the original "feel" or geometry.
It feels okay with the RC51 front end but I'm not happy with the damping. I scored the Aprilia parts for about what it would cost to install an Ohlins cartridge kit or custom revalve. Plus, they're frigging Ohlins!!!
As a bonus, I have the Brembo radial calipers that go with the front end

 

i hope this helps you out..

3.5 millimeters on the button
