I bought a set of those new 0 degree clipons with risers, and within 5 minutes of trying to install them I realized they won't clear the pinchbolts on the upper triple if you have them turned out. I don't want stock position, defeats the whole purpose! Sooooooooo.....I went to the hardware store the next day and rigged up some **** with washers and longer bolts, but I'm concerned this won't hold up very well. Any opinions or advice would be appreciated.....

Can anyone think of a better way to get these to work?? Should I even ride like this? ( I have been) Surely someone else with a 954/929 triple, gsxr triple or any triple with the pinch bolts on top has run into this same issue.......

 

Get a block of aluminum (try ebay i got like 20lbs for $20) And cut it...Those washers arent a good idea because they wont spread the force enough, but if you get the aluminum between itll be ok but not as good as if they made them right

O and that grip on the left is what i run and theyre sick

 

Yea I pretty much figured that... dude at the store told me the same thing. They had a piece of metal but it was like ALOT and I don't have any tools to cut it. Looks like these clipons are going to be more of an investment than i thought


I like the grip too it was like 10 bucks....

 

They have spacers I had the same prob if u don't get the blocks the bolts will come loose. They are good people just tell them ur prob....

 

just mount them above the tripple like an f4/f4i

 

but then youll b lower to the ground and thatll mess with ur bp on endos

 

true ... i suck and can't do those so i don't have to worry about that

 

where? manufacture's website doesnt have them listed I need em asap should i call them up?

should have just bought vortex then.... whole point was i didnt want to lower my front end

 

ho hey...

 

....no mon hey........

 

not to be a wise @ss,but they look upside down....

 

use grade 8 bolts and aluminum blocks cheap enuff,and sorry next time i'll read and not type so fast, i'mma sooo stupido.....

 

Drill A hole in the clipon where the bolt is interfering?

 

I'd be afraid of it breaking, and congrats i hear you place at kots or something

 

Got the same problem. Just been runing them in the stock position.

 

Thanks

 

could have went with stock clipons if i wanted that, there staying turned out, and i think drilling any more holes in them will weaken it too much....

Soooo........who wants to cut me 2 pieces of aluminium and mail it to my house???



Anyone??????
