A handlebar shock and vibration damper triple clamp (20) for a motorcycle
or a bicycle is taught which comprises a handlebar triple clamp body (22)
with a pair of clamps that holds the handlebar in isolation from the body. The
body has a pair of integral front fork mounting rings (24) positioned on
opposite ends, and a pair of upright cradles (26) adjacent to the rings.
A lower handlebar clamp (44) is positioned within each cradle such that
the clamp is completely segregated from the triple clamp body. Resilient isolation
strips (50) and cylinders (52) engage the upright cradles and lower
handlebar clamps, thereby providing a pliant interface therebetween. An upper handlebar
bridge clamp (60) is disposed above each lower handlebar clamp such that
a handlebar may be inserted and compressably retained therebetween, thus decreasing
vibration and shock impulses upon the handlebar during operation of the cycle due
to the elastic nature of the interface.
