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.
