check it out new upper clamp!!

My friends brother just got it back to me. This thing is burly as hell an inch thick solid 6061, so i feel pretty damn confident about mounting my bars to it. So what do you guys think??

1 inch think is a little much, as for weight but they look good. I hope there is more then 1 pinch bolt tightening the fork clamps at 1 inch think??

honestly its the exact demension as stock except its solid. I had it made because i didnt trust the stock clamp its thin and its cast so i was worried about it breaking. Some people will say that the clamp will make the front end more ridged, but ive had burly uppers on my mx bikes never really felt a difference. So anyway its so my mx clamps and bars are more secure.

weight really isnt an issue unless i had 40lbs strapped to my forks. I mean i never understand why people bring that up when it comes to stunt bikes. Anyway ya one pinch bolt but there isnt anyway you could get 2 on it. If it snaps the bolt it snaps the bolt. It'll still be held on by the other side and the center. Not worried.
