Need a set of 49mm clamps installing rmz front end on my 05 rm 250, have a set of clamps but need tabs welded on and my fab guy is taking forever. Let me know what you have. Thank you

I have been through this. To mount my RM A Kit, I found a nice set of RG3 clamps from an RMZ and took take them out 1mm top and bottom which is fine as there is a lot of meat on those clamps.


Then for the bump stops, I bought these and bolted them in position with better fixings.

Those RG3 clamps are awesome, have had them on past bikes.
Also, having a good machinist bore them is a solid way to do it on a quality clamp.
I've bored a few for my friend's KX builds with later model forks, and A-kit stuff.

Sweet bike dude.

Measure your forks first. Rmz uppers are 55mm so might not even need to bore them depending on what “49” forks you have. 49 doesn’t mean a bigger clamp. New Honda forks are 54mm uppers.

They are 49mm. Rg3 a kit forks came off. 15 rmz 450 but I will measure just to make sure I have a set of 49mm pc clamps just with no tabs

what he's saying is, that it does not matter what the lower tube diameter is. Not all 49mm works (and now 49mm production) fork shave the same upper and lower clamping diameters.

Now I’m following lol , so I need to go get my clamps from my fab shop and put forks into clamps to make sure they fit correctly, or do they actually need to be measured? Thanks for the info

Measure both of them. Bore and the forks. Old Honda 48s are the same diameter of 49s

Thanks I did, ended up going to pick up my clamps because the guy has had them for 5 weeks and I was going to take it to somebody else.

Walk in and they were just finished last night lol thank you for the info/help.
