clip ons modification

Tonight I decided to saw the little locating pegs off the clipons that align the bars so that I could rotate the bars a bit forward for more comfort, only to discover that the left clipon will only rotate about 2mm before the pinch bolts on the bar hit against the ignition lock lol , fookin waste of time that was

not a total waste, u gained 2mm lol

Well im pleased to report that after taking the bike out for a test ride just now the mingie 2mm I moved the bars forward at the top of the forks has made a bit more of a difference at the end of the bars and now feels more comfortable

Having ran my bike previously with helibars for two months I took them off and sold them and went back to the oem bars as I planned on doing more track days but today I've bit the bullet and bought another set of helibars

Nothing like being decisive lol! Did you notice any difference in vibration with the Helibars?

Since I took my r&g frame sliders off the bike micky the handle bar vibration has all but gone, the helibars just put your hands in a much more comfortable position lol

I found the opposite with the helibars. Never owned any, but sat on a bike with them, and within 30 seconds my wrists were hurting from being bent in wrong position
