[QUOTE="TrackMaster, post: 563009, member: 22282"] first off my bike is a 96 yz125 w/ stock clamps, protapers, and it looks like a universal mounting kit. There are two pieces that act as spacers that sit in the bar mounts and bolt to the triple clamp, and on top are oversized holes to fit the protapers that have the top piece that holds the bars in place... (sorry im not very good at explaining stuff... :( ) Ok, well I managed to crash in the whoops yesterday and send my bike cartwheeling on down into the corner, in the process it managed to strip the bolts that run through the adapter down into my triple clamp clean out (strangely didnt even put a scratch on the plastics). And it looks like the previous owner had the same problem. He drilled it out and put (oh no... cant think of the name) some sort of thread stuff in the aluminum and used bigger bolts. Anyways... is it possible to fill the holes with weld and redrill and tap them, or should I buy a new triple clamp? I have two problems one being im in high school and work part time, (no money) and my other problem is my bars are a super low bend (yz lows?) and im really tall. However they are perfectly posistioned thanks to the lift the adapters add, so is it possible to get a triple clamp that will mimic the height of my stock w/ adapters? [/QUOTE]
