I just want people to be aware of the fact that the bottom clamps only clamp halfway. And sellers of these extensions should inform their buyer's too. There was only one seller of these extenders in Europe, in the UK. After a few months he suddenly didn't sell them anymore, I wonder why... And there isn't a single motorcycle manufacturer that would approve them.

Good for you. I hope you tell your buyers that they extend the forks by 40 mm, not 25 mm as in the original description.

I removed all my "flat earth" links but I used to have a topographical map of the construction which showed that the height above sea level was the same over the entire length. In the link below is all you need to know about the causeway. You might need Google Translate if you don't speak Dutch 🙂 deafsluitdijk.nl/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/Masterplan-Beeldkwaliteit-Afsluitdijk.pdf

@@zombiewoof5257 Thank you,

There's images of Hillhouse and Habitat below the horizon when viewed from the same location, so odds are that's just refraction. Gail and Gilda are distorted to hell and definitely partially below the horizon. Grace isn't faring much better.

@@jamaldeep13 No such thing as below the horizon. Balltards admit there is no measured geometric spherical horizon because of refraction. The globe is dead. Time to grow up.

Every time we measure the surface of our planet, we find that it is curved, not flat.

@@zounds010 THERE IS NO MEASURED BALLTARD CURVE

Lmao you're blind as hell

My point of view is that the designers of those extenders did a bad job. There's a reason that KTM designed the bottom triple clamp with two bolts on each side: It makes the connection more stable. I don't care that anyone uses the extenders, I just want people to know what the consequenses are.

@@zombiewoof5257 Thanks!

For me the risk of permanently damaging or deforming something isn't worth the benefit. Maybe if I could fabricate some kind of wedge shaped shim to fill the gap, I might consider using such extenders.

You're welcome.

Thanks!

Yes it could help a bit.

I wonder what insurance companies have say, when they find this kind of fork extenders on a KTM after an accident :-)

@@zombiewoof5257 Like all the other items on ebay. Probably just pay for OEM or don't bother. Stag happy..

@@scottporter0069 That's really good advice, but there are plenty of good aftermarket products, even on ebay, some even exceeding OEM quality and design. The problem is distinguishing between good and bad. And the amount of self proclaimed specialists, reviewers and influencers on the internet doesn't make it easier.

Indeed, but a thinner feeler gauge would have gone deeper. Everyone has to decide for themself ofcourse, but I'm not going to use the extenders, it doesn't feel right when the bottom clamp only clamps half of what it should.

I decided not to use the extenders. Don't like the idea that the bottom clamps only clamp half of what they're designed for.

I raised my top tripple clamp by 9mm with a spacer under the tripple clamp, this means the forks now are only slid down 30mm not the 39mm they were when I first tried the install

ADV Matt, Why would you take the responsibility "to determine if this is a significant issue or not"? Are you qualified for that? Isn't it up to NiceCNC and other manufacturers of similar fork extenders, to inform their customers of all the facts, including the effect on the bottom triple clamp?

@@zombiewoof5257 I am only looking at it from my own experience. I am not speaking for the company. It is left up to the each rider/user/qualified mechanic of this product to determine if this gap creates an issue in functionality. It's great that you captured how the fork leg and triple clamp come together. Thanks for identifying it.

@@advmatt But when you're offering a 10% discount code, you're linked to the company and actively promoting their product. I'm a fan of your channel, don't let one video tarnish your reputation. I would at least put a disclaimer in the discription of your video, or pin a comment explaining the issue with the bottom triple clamp and the fact they extend the forks by 1.57 inch instead of 1 inch.

You can clearly see that there are other cars overtaking me, so moving over was no option. It's obvious that I was overtaking him with enough speed difference for him to merge behind me, giving me no reason to lower my speed. But at the last moment he accelerates and suddenly decided to swerve in my lane, giving me no time to react in any other way. I never ride aggressively and always give people a chance to merge, but this guy wasn't paying attention and created this situation, not me. So the title of the video is very appropriate: It's a clear demonstration of how not to merge.

Mostly via connections and friends that have the same hobby and some dealers who specialize in old timers. Now and again some "new old stock" is found and some parts are reproduced.

You're welcome.

My pleasure.

Thanks!

Great argument.

Thanks!

No

Some look like C15's.......

Thanks.

De rien :-)

My pleasure. If all the conditions are right, I might go back to take some better images.

Yes, anyone can use it, no problem. The fact that I'm not swamped with flerfers in denial is probably because the curve is not as obvious as Soundly's, for instance.

@@zombiewoof5257 Thank you, appreciated 👍 Sometimes things slip under the radar. I'm sure they'd be happy to moan at you. I might end up sending some your way actually.

Al K ..:)

Nee, ik niet. Ik heb deze video wel opnieuw geuploaded, de vorige had ik verwijderd maar dat is al een hele tijd geleden.

@@zombiewoof5257 omdat mijn reply op EnergiaSim van 2 dagen geleden weg is en ik het gek vindt dat als hij mij als zou raporteren dan nog mijn comment niet weg moet zijn

@@MGoudsmits Dat is inderdaad raar.

Yes he is!
