NEWS ALERT!!!!

BAAK will be offering lightweight horns made from some very special stuff.  They'll be programmable to play several lightweight, but very hip tunes.

Priced at just $959, the pair.

Carp carp carp carp carp!!  How am I going to hide this purchase!!!??

I had seen the parts on FB a few weeks back... Did not even bother to ask...  How wrong I was.   That is a fair price for those triple clamps.

I am here looking at the one for the GT650 at your FB page... what a work of mechanical art...   carp!!  I want those... not sure if in black or bare metal...  Maybe black for the sprocket cover and bare metal for clamp... or both black... or... arghhhh....







Ride safe!

These are beautiful! I just emailed them. I'll let you know what they say. So great to see the old world craftsman mentality using high tech skills in the beautiful capital of Latvia. I visited Riga in 1989. While there one of the old timers told me of a barn full of WWII Harleys. I smiled and let the old guy think that I believed him. After the fall of the USSR I read about someone selling a whole barn full of WWII Harleys from Latvia. :o

Perhaps if three or four of us ordered a set at once maybe they'd sweeten the deal.

I got a response this morning. The triple clamp comes in three different styles and costs $180. The risers are $120. Not as bad as I thought they would be!

Do we know if the lower clamp includes the stem?  I've not had my triples off this bike so I'm wondering about little details.  Will the OEM clocks attach the same way as stock?  It's good to avoid surprises.

Yes the top yoke has the same mounting points for the instrument Cluster. 

You can still use the oem stem .

Under 200$ for the top yoke . Around 300 for the full set .+ 10$ for the Black Version

I don't mean to be too fussy but it appears that the Interceptor top yoke requires the risers shown in the photo rather than the OEM style.  Is that correct?

Don't let the nomenclature throw you. They aren't any higher than standard. The "meat" of the mount sits on the deck of the yoke. Like the SL 350 Hondas did.

Now it looking like the full top and bottom set is $300 and possibly up to $420 if the risers shown are needed. 

It would be good if the maker actually had a full spec and price sheet that we could have a look at.

I think the price for a complete set is going to be higher than I want to pay.

Perhaps I didn't state my question accurately.  What I'm wondering is if I need the proprietary risers shown in the photo? The top yoke does not appear to have the same anchor holes for the risers as our stock yoke.
Ahh, gotcha. I saw some photos showing holes and if I recall, the holes cost a few extra bucks. Standard 3.5 inch space. I've been looking at a ton of them but those look really good. The ones from Latfia, right.

awesome. thanks for this. im looking at the RE 650 as a potential new bike and this is helpful. i dont mind the modest power etc of the bike. i just dont see why it seems to be overweight for its class in my opinion.

also looks like prices for aftermarket stuff isnt too bad. coming from a ducati where you can pay 300$ just for custom footpegs, this is nice lol.

the only thing i probably wouldnt do is the lithium battery switch. i live in canada where its gets randomly cold/hot fast and dont really want to deal with lithium in that environment.

The 650 isn't really all THAT heavy. I think a T-100 Bonnie might be 50+ pounds heavier. 

A substanial amount of weight can be pared of quite easily and many of us think that a good thing.
