Re: Wide clip ons?

i think you might be seeing motocross bars on the bikes? do the bars look big and raised up more than clip ons?

Re: Wide clip ons?

just loosen the pinch bolt and rotate them forwards. i had little locating tabs that i had to break off so i could rotate mine. helps for fallin too cuz they just spin rather than bending.

We've been turning our clip-ons out since we started riding. It made 10 mile highway wheelies so much easier. My bars on my F3 are damn near straight out.

I cut the tabs on my f4i last night and love it!! I would recommend it to anyone, especially if you have long arms. Helped alot in stand ups.

Re: Wide clip ons?

try it and you'll find out.

not too wide cuz it kinda takes away from the stock look and your front brake or clutch can hit your fairing when you turn all the way...but much better leverage for endos and wheelies

Re: Wide clip ons?

On my ZX my clip ons are ABOVE the trees. There is nothing but the bolt holding it on and from just sliding off the top of the fork tube. I guess I'll have to drill a hole a put a nut on the bottom of the tree?????

no no no...just put them where you liek them, and make a little scratch mark on the clip on and the triple...then just tighten them to normal specs...when you fall, they will twist instead of break, and you just put them back to the lines that you originally marked
