NO I DO NOT DRILL, THEY DO NOT PIVOT UNLESS YOU LEAVE THEM LOOSE
most bikes dont have center bolts in the first place, its better to not use a centering bolt cause if you drop your ****, it wont break the clip-on, it will just pivot it on the fork tube. you also dont want to over tighten them either so they can pivot when they hit the ground.. only years of elbow torque wrench can you do this correctly

...hey quick question, what do you guys do with the reservoir for the brakes? on the right clip-on it has a special spot to screw the tab in that holds the reservoir up.
should I just place it along the bolt that tightens the clip on?
thanks

I wish there was an esay step wise with pictures guide. Hell lot of confusion everyone talking left to right.
but should be easy to do.
Also I wish no one is going to drill into their forks after reading this. LOL

Did mine a while back and it was funky as hell for a few days, but I won't go back. I just ordered a set of Vortex clip-ons going to flip them as well when I install them.

Re: 05 636 flipped clip ons....
hi! one question....somebody knows if the 03-04 636 tripple clamp will fit on my 05 636 ? or other model?
I would like to mount risers for a dirtbar and the 03 tripple clamp it´s better to drill.
