Could anyone tell me the diameter of the fork tubes on an '81 katana. At the triple clamps.

Cheers

Aha. That's a bit too butch for my requirements.

Next question:

What bike has clip-on bars and 30mm forks?

for the H100 bucket? I'd look for a GL145 front end comes with a hydraulis disc and chances are being a Honda the front end will slot straight in with out any mods, you'd still have to make some clip ons though

Yep, for the bucket. I have a hydraulic disc front end, I'm just after some clip-ons.

bung-In the awd days we just used to weld them up
With the honda mb50 I used to turn the top tripple clamp upside down
--the other possibility would be to see if you can get a set of Z bars
they in effect gave you clip ons
