Howdy, I have a question to ask of the experts!. Was the top triple clamp for K-models and early sportsters steel? I found a steel one at the local shop, but it is slightly different than the aluminum ones found in later years. It doesn't have a casting number that I could see, and the cutout for the cables to go through is different also. I don't have a picture of it or an original one. I am working on a 57' xl and would like to have a proper one. Any help would be appreciated....thanks Mike

Thanks for everyones help. I went back and he had 3 of them. The first one that he showed the first time had all mounts ground off. Thats why it looked a little strange to me. When I went back and inquired further, he pulled out 2 more. One had a set of headlight bracket mounts similar to an aluminum clamp, and the other had all 4 extensions including the 2 half-moon switch brackets and the stamped steel handle bar cover that has sportster embossed on it. I picked that one up. Thanks again. These forums are great!.
