Last but not least are the stainless eccentric steering stops
800

Now I just need to get them cleaned up and to the anodizer. I'm itching to put them on! Patience, I've waited this long, I can wait another week or two B)

All edges are chamfered, and all the holes are chamfered/deburred. All the threads look clean and nicely cut. After the first look, I am very happy with my new parts. Once I get them anodized and bolted up, I will give another review of the fit and quality for anyone else contemplating a set of these.

Just beautiful....I was trying to talk Irishwill into trading me some parts for a set of those triples...didn't go to well! :laugh: I'd sure love to have a set on my next project....they look so cool! :woohoo:

How do the steering stops mount to the frame?

I believe that the steering stops mount to the lower clamp, and they rest against the factory stop on the frame.
