2004 V11 Ballabio Handle bars, Top Triple Plate, Handlebar Mounts - Wanted

[PhillipLarsen]

2004 V11 Ballabio Handlebars, Upper Triple Plate, Handle bar mounts wanted

Looking for original upper triple plate, handlebars (grey preferred), and handlebar mounts for 2004 V11 Ballabio.

My Ballabio came with the Lemans upper triple clamp, Lemans clipons, and speedo/tachometer relocated further forward. Apparently the dealer at the time had two customers, one wanted a Lemans with Ballabio bars, other wanted Ballabio with Lemans bars, so they accommodated both by swapping. I bought the Ballablio shortly after it was sold new, and did not even realize this was not the stock set up.

I really like the current set up, but would like the original Ballabio set up so I can swap to that for some really longer multi day rides where my arthritis starts coming into play (67 years old).

Appreciate any help or leads on who may have a set of these they may want to sell, as some people may have removed Ballabio set up to install Lemans set up.

Hi Phillip, I might have the handlebars in the back of my garage, there should also be the risers but iirc one of them has a helicoil

[PhillipLarsen]

I'm interested, no problem for helicoil. Can you check if they are there and let me know.

[stewgnu]

No probs, got to work today but will have a rummage later.

[PhillipLarsen]

Ok, great thanks.

If anyone may have an Upper Triple Plate for V11 Ballabio (the one drilled for the handlebar mounts), I would be interested in buying that as well.

[PhillipLarsen]

I am still looking for all of these Ballabio parts ( upper triple plate, handlebars, etc, ), if anyone has any available.

Thanks

Would a top triple clamp from a Centauro be the same?  I have one you can have if it fits.

[PhillipLarsen]

Thanks fotoguzzi, I really appreciate the offer, from what I can tell so far they are not compatible. Maybe someone else will know for sure.

I wonder if a standard triple-clamp doesn't have props in the casting-mold already to support drilling holes for the mounting of standard risers. In that case you could buy the risers from LSL.

And you could check at Stein Dinze. It says the product is NML (nicht mehr lieferbar), but it will also be shipped in 1-3 days.

Thank you very much for the information motortouring. I am hoping not to drill the Lemans upper triple clamp to keep it looking nice, as I will still use it other than for long trips.

The Stein-Dinse triple tree and risers looks very good. I will check into it further, if I do not find any OEM parts.

Another thing that might turn up the parts is to save an eBay search for "V11" and "Ballabio." The exact parts you are looking for will most likely not be listed in search results, but if you message the seller, they might have the parts which are not listed.

Yes, I understood this, but if the upper T-clamp has the props, you can extend your search to any fitting upper T-clamp. That will be a lot easier to find. LSL has a template and the local blacksmith/fine-mechanic workshop will be able to drill a few nice holes. Personally, I always like to visit them and bring them a pie next day. :-)

[PhillipLarsen]

Yes, that makes sense and good suggestion, much appreciated.

I will check the current Lemans triple plate to see if it has the props for drilling holes and if so can search for another similar Lemans/Sport etc. plate.

Does the Le Man's triple plate have bosses underneath of it that can drilled to suit handle bar risers?

Or if you are really stuck then any machinist should be able to make you a new plate that would work.

Chris.

[PhillipLarsen]

I checked the Lemans Triple plate currently installed, and it does have bosses on the bottom of the plate at about 14 cm apart (quite wide), but the top of the triple plate is not flat as it has a machined pocked over a substantial amount of the surface area and the step is about right in the middle of where the bosses are on the bottom. I would need to get some machining done to create a place where the risers could be installed and have a flat spot on the top and bottom.

I will keep my searches going for an OEM triple plate that will work without modification, and if cannot find one before spring, will order the Stein Dinze set up. 

Appreciate everyone suggestions.
