I've seen some talk bout the vortex mounted upside down and some others. I'm wonderin what people are doin...I want to get a wider grip with out putting DB bars on, there cool just dont like the way it looks. I'm putting them on a 03 gsxr 600 so they are under the top plate. has anybody lowered the front to mount on top of the triple, if so howd it work out for ya...

 

yup,vortex and woodcraft are nice.

 

I tryed to search a thread where they were talkin about them being straight or angled. guess that would just be a preference thing. did you mount your upside down?

 

I have vortex clipons on my bike (02 f4i) that are swapped and flipped on a 929 front end and it works fine. if u toss ur bike alot, they wouldnt be a good idea due to the fact that the bars bend easily and u will replace them often...

 

when u put em on was it like wow or just ok?

 

I broke my right clip on last week, so i got some aftermarket, first i got harris, they were a 6 degree angle (my stock were 8 degrees), but they mounted below the triple clamp, and were to low for my taste, i didnt think about flipping them or wwhatever, so i sent them back and ordered some freestyle ingenuity, they are at zero degrees and mount on top of the triple like stock. I havent got them on but i think theyll be good. anyone have Fi clipons?

 

i run the Fi clip ons after my stock f4i ones broke had then about a year now after many falls there tweaked alittle but still fine i think the replaceable tubes are only like $10 bucks hellava lot cheaper than the others too

 

my dude just got some helibars. www.helibars.com they are f-in awesome. pretty sure they come with longer throttle cable included. They are fully ajustable up-down,in-out, even angle of them. look into them. they are hot ****.

 

IT TOOK SOME GETTIN USED TO THATS FOR SURE... BUT I LIKE'EM. I WAS GONNA PUT D/B BARS ON BUT I GOT THESE FOR FREE AS WELL AS THE FRONTEND SO I WAS LIKE 'Y NOT''

 

i got a set of woodcraft clip ons, and i love them. i bought them so i could keep my left controls after i put on my handbrake. the bars are alot longer then stock, wider grip. With the wider grip i'm finding that rolling endo is much more comfortable, and when doing standup i don't feel so cramped.

 

nice looking bike rowdy i had a 954 frontend on with stock clipons,i wanted to go to aftermarket's flipped and on top of the tripple but was worried about bottoming out,have you had any problem's with that?

 

I have the FI clip ons on my bike.....best mod ive ever done to my bike

 

thers a cheaper way....just get sum rc51 clipons...thats wat i run upside down ontop of the triple like rowdys set up...there not perfectly flat, but angled up acouple degrees

 

Well i got my FI clipons on, and tried it out. Also put a scotts damper on. The fi clipons feel so much different than the stock that its gonna take a little getting used to, but i think ill like em better. I didnt think 8 degrees would feel that different but it does. I only rode for a few mins, tomorrow ill get to break them in and get the feel.

 

[QUOTE=mikey-d]nice looking bike rowdy i had a 954 frontend on with stock clipons,i wanted to go to aftermarket's flipped and on top of the tripple but was worried about bottoming out,have you had any problem's with that? Thanks Mikey. it is pretty low and thats one reason i dont have all the body work on there (the tip of the lowers is like 2 inches from the ground) it only bottoms out when i bunny hop it or jump off ****. i weigh about 185lbs too so if ur not a fat azz like me u'll be aight

 

[QUOTE=ROWDY]so much for that idea, im a fat *** haha

 

i love my vortex clip ons.. but the real trick is to replace the hollow tube with a solid 1" alimunim bar.. doesnt bend as easy... and cheaper

-kane

 

FI Clipons!!! do yourself a favor and get them!

kane - i would be worried about breaking the clamp instead of just having the tube bend from using solid tube

 

just got my FI's on the bike yesterday but I haven't rode it yet.

 

yeah my last one broke at the clamp, were the tube is solid on my stock, didnt bend or anything just broke of clean.
