Default What diameter is the downtubes?

Relocated my front turnsignals to the floorboards using LED-strips. I'm not sure if I like the result, and I need to hook up some resistors ( which I don't have ).

So instead of ordering resistors and make this work, I'm considering using the stock signals and monting them to the downtubes, but I need to know the diameter to know which clamps to order ( I don't have a caliper, that's why I'm asking ).

Or even better... Links to black, cheap clamps that would work.

Something like this: http://www.jpcycles.com/product/691-227

I guess those are too big, but you get the idea....

Nice. Thanks.

Now I just have to try to find some 1 1/4" ( 31,75mm ) clamps...

Which bike do you have? It's either 41.3mm or 39mm. None of the forks are english units.

It's a springer, but I ain't talking about the fork. The downtubes on the frame....

Kuryakyn makes these little close they call p clamps. They are bad liable in black and for 1.25" tubing. Also. Some of the real bare boned foot peg mounts for highway pegs would work since most engine guards are 1.25" also
