the problem with doing it with steel then it rips the bar out of the clipon clamp itself. i fucked mine all up run steel bars on my vortex clipons.

Re: F4i Vortex Clip ons

what about using solid aluminum or maybe just a little thicker wall than the actual vortex bars?

i would just stick with the standard vortex one. its not worth ******* up the clamp part of the clipons.

Go to your local material dealer and buy some .125 wall .875 Aluminum tubing.
Chop it off every 10.00inches or so. You can get about 20 replacements for a few dollars.

Re: F4i Vortex Clip ons

good call.

Got them all mounted up tonight. It feels pretty good but they just seem like they stick out so far that everytime I drop the bike they are gonna bend like wire...guess we'll see

Re: F4i Vortex Clip ons

so after my first day using them, i like them. the only bad parts is that I cant turn as easy as i used to because everything hits the stay. And i had to rotate my front brake lever so much that its damn near pointing down. Its making my stoppies harder....oh well, guess i just gotta get used to it.

Re: F4i Vortex Clip ons

Re: F4i Vortex Clip ons
