Curious because I haven't seen anyone running their stuff in a very long time. Their website appears to be last touched in 2012 by the "Copyright © 2001-2012" at the bottom. Their last catalog is from 2010.

I ask because back in 2007 I had a YZ250 with a set of their triple clamps that I loved. Was wondering if technology has just left them behind as to why everyone now used Ride, PC, Applied or most recently Xtrig triples. Or has RG3 just stopped making product.

What's the scoop?

LOVE the 4-post, rubber mounted bar clamps I have mounted on my CR500AF conversion with A-kit suspenders. Smile

Hope they're still around.

Yeah, I didn't know what I had at the time but they felt really good. Haven't seen any in years though. Maybe I'll give them a ring later. Usually someone on here knows the scoop so I just thought I'd ask.

Just had my suspension revalved for my new YZ last week. Rode it yesterday and it was amazingly improved. I think they are running a much smaller crew than a few years back, so may explain the lack of an updated website. Still the best IMO. Not many opportunities to get your bike worked on by the same guy who tunes JS7's machine(and many champs from the past).

Their 4-post upper triple clamps work amazingly well. I destroyed my right wrist a few years ago and even though I recently had the plates and screws removed I still need a little help in the vibration isolation department. I love the RG3's but they're not available (out of stock) for late model Hondas. Once or twice a year I call over there and they tell me the same story every time - they're working on a new design that'll be available in about six months. They've been six months out for over four years now. I think I'm going to try those clamps Dungey uses with the little baby air shocks built in (after Christmas when I can afford an $800 triple clamp).

Maybe Griffin can get a job at RG3 after he gets cut.
