[QUOTE="jeb, post: 151409, member: 16219"] You're screwed as far as the inner mounts are concerned. The Cycra and SRC inner BB mounts use the top triple clamps pinch bolts to mount. The pinch bolts must be in the front of the clamps. The stock KTM triple clamps have used rear pinch bolts at least since 98. SRC makes a model for side entry front pinch bolts or front entry bolts. Cycra only makes a side entry model. I have Scott's 18mm top and bottom triple clamps on my 400EXC and they have the front pinch bolts so I was able to use the Cycra inner mounts. I love them. I actually had the SRC style on there to start with. Not sure how much detail you want but here goes anyway. :) I had the SRC inner mounts with EE handguards. I'd installed CR Hi pro-tapers cut down to 30". I had to do a lot of bending of the EE BB's to get them to fit and when I was done I didn't have enough room for the levers. I don't like cutting them down so I moved them inboard as much as I could and cut a piece of the plastic shield out. I didn't like it but it worked. I then installed the Cycra probends as they are 17.5" end to end as opposed to the 16" EE's. I still had to customizes the bend (Fact of life with the clamp mounted inner mounts. Hope you have a good vise.) but they gave me the room I was looking for inside the bend. I let a friend ride my bike and he had a moderate biff with it. The probend collapsed a bit at the bend. I was able to straighten it at home but it made me go 'hmmm'. Then I started to notice that little trees were getting into the bend area of the probends and smacking my fingers. It happened at speed in the tight woods when deflecting small saplings with the hand guards, especially while leaned into a corner. Hurt pretty good at times. I already owned the Cycra inner clamps as they came with the Probends when I bought them. I didn't put them on as I didn't think I needed to. But I decide to take a look at them and compared them to my SRC ones. They locate the mounting hole about an inch futher towards the outside. So I installed them and rebent the EE guards to fit those. Problems solved. Now I have room inside plus a stronger straight guard that doesn't let stuff hit my hands. Probably more information than you needed but you asked! :) [/QUOTE]
