duct tape clip ons
 

ok, so i found this to be funny and had to share my weekend adventure. so my buddy wrecks his 636 a week ago and bent both vortex clipons. instead of getting new ones he goes to lowes and buys plumbing pipe, good idea only its too thin. so he calls me up. i go over, he wants to ride that night so im like fuck it lets duct it. we wrap duct tape around the bars push them into the clipons and voila so far it works like a champ. im not saying i would trust it, but he rocked wheelies all night with no probs. so fyi plumbing pipe + duct tape = replacement bar for vortex clipons :LOL oh if anyone has any spare bars for the 03-04 636 vortex clipons please shoot me a pm so we can fix this before something bad happens

:lolIn a pinch I would do this to get home. But would fix it before I went riding. Just buy correct diam bar an chop to fit. Or buy the stuff from the guy above me.:lol

I call bullshit on the "rocking wheelies all night with no prob" part of the story.

You do realize that you can go to a Metal by the Foot type place and just get 1ft sections of 7/8 Chromoly tube, right? I second keeping the camera on your buddy, I want to see what happens when his clip on breaks in the middle of a trick.

Re: duct tape clip ons
 

The chromoly bars arent expensive. 1 foot peices are only like 3 bucks a peice or so.

Shatter? Yeah fuck a bunch of that noise.

Man go buy them for your buddy so he doesn't kill himself. If he isn't going to use his brain you might help him out a little. :LOL

shit personally I'd just rock thin steel, or aluminum

If something bends, I want it to be the bar and not my bar clamp :cheers
