For attachment of a handlebar to a motorcycle body a clamp assembly comprises a pair of clamp elements which securely clamp around a central location of a handlebar without play. Respective support means, such as cradles mount respective end portions of the clamp elements with bearing elements disposed between each support cradle and the clamp elements in order to permit relative axial rotation. A substantially rigid member is fixed to and extends between the support cradles and resilient means, such as washers, or pads or inserts of various shapes and materials, are disposed between the clamp elements and this rigid member so as to permit rotational play between the clamp elements and the support cradles about the longitudinal axis of the central location of the handlebar, but either minimize rotational play between the clamp elements and the support cradles in the other directions, namely about vertical and horizontal axis, or at least allow only limited rotational play therebetween in these other directions.
