clip ons

[Marcus81]

Because I'm a tart I want my clipons to match the black anodised triple clamps I have. I took off the standard ones and took them to an anodising specialist who said because they are cast that I would not get a good finish.

Does anybody know which clip ons will fit a bike with standard bodywork comfortably? I have just tried some harris ones but they are too far forward and to stop the brake lever interfering with the fairing I would need to have them pulled right in and the brake lever angled too far down.

Stop being a tart?

Ha ha. Never!

how about some ape hangers :shadow:

Renthal now do them to suit with the bars attached at the side of the clamp instead of from the front.

I wouldnt trust those Renthals. Bar is held in by a small grub screw and they have some movement in the joint.

Doesn't sound too convincing, i have emailed renthal and i'm waiting for a response but not sure i like the sound of loose clips ons. the TRW ones look similar in dimension and bar positioning but a bit more sturdy.

Not seen them in the flesh so thanks for the warning Godzilla, would properly spoil your day if a tube came loose!

No worries. I was just about to pull the plug on the Renthal Gen 2 until I saw them on a bike on a shop. Really put me off. Now on the look for something else.

you could always buff the originals up for a better anodised finish

I started doing one of them, the trouble is the shape and the detailing once you get going, someone can prove me wrong but to me it seemed that i still wasn't going to get a good finished, if i cant find any i'll get a second hand one off fleabay to replace the polished one.
