From your avatar pic it looks like you have the stock fork tubes, which makes them 38mm. I suppose you're looking for a streetfighter headlight assembly for your bike? Any clamps you get to go on your bike have to be 38mm.

Hope that helps. my2cents

Then the 38mm clamps should treat you well. If you are "streetfightering-out" your bike, one thing you may consider before ordering the headlight is what to do about the terribly soft front suspension. It would sorta suck to get an awesome headlight on your bike, and then a few months from now decide to to a fork swap for newer/better forks (which you could always rebuild them with springs/cartridge emulators) and have to buy the clamps all over again.

All that to say, be sure to plan ahead. my2cents
