They vary by manufacturer. You machining a clamp for a stem you don't have?

I bought a stabilizer a while back but the clamp it came with doesn't fit my stock steering stem. My bike is about 100 miles away from where I am right now (in college). Anyway, I have the steering stabilizer with me and have about three weeks left before school is out and I wont have the shop here at school available to me to machine the clamp hole the right size.

I could measure a 2006 stem but I am not sure if it is different than 2005. I know you can call Precision and talk to tech support. He will tell you the exact size they use as they have various clamp sizes for Rath, ATV Fourplay, Houser, stock, etc. When I went to a Lonestar chromoly frame, they even had the lower frame clamp for it.

Thanks a lot! I'll give them a call and see if I can get the info from them.
