    Is anybody aware of any aftermarket triple clamps for the TE610?

    I am interested in reducing my trail (increase my offset) to try to get my 610 to turn a little bit quicker. I really love the bike, but it's a lot of work to muscle around in the woods, and it's plenty stable at speed. Since we're sort of stuck with the stock chopper-esque rake on the 610, I am interested in changing the offset.

    I have measured the stock offset at about 27mm, I'd like to try triple clamps at 30 or 31mm.

    If I can't find any, I just might machine up a set and see if it works...

    I've already tried sliding the forks up in the triple clamps, and it probably helped, but the change wasn't significant enough and I've lost that much ground clearance on a bike that doesn't have a ton to begin with.

    On second though, more offset might have the bad side effect of increasing the wheelbase.

    I wonder if I could machine up a pair of angled bearing seats, to allow me to change the rake angle... I will have to take some measurements!
