Good to know. Thanks! I wasn't sure if that would work on our bikes.

Yeah looks like you can do it either way. Lowering the front end and adding these which will give a lower bar position will really make the bike turn in a lot faster.

I really would love to do these. I just can't justify them being a broke out of work college student now.

Maybe I'll try and get my dad to buy them for me for Christmas.

EDIT: Oh and the other adjustability you have with these other than just up and down is the angle of the bars. You and move them forward and back for a more or less swept angle, and I believe you can rotate them in the housing to change the vertical angle of them as well.

im def game on this mod...

**Uno979** · 08-23-2010, 10:33 AM

Oh man I'm glad we found videos on this. I think this is such a huge deal. You take this mod that you not just personalize YOUR ride but you can remove them and personalize your next and next and next bike there after eventually paying for itself 10 times over.

I'm putting this at the top of my list with the center stand.

I am game for this except for the price. I'm wondering what I can really get out of this for a more raced profile and then I need the rear sets moved back too so that this is more like a R6.
How much lower will the bars go and what sweep angle can be achieved or do they have to stick out like Alfalfa's hair?
Tank and fairing clearance are the constants here.

I'll post more pictures with more details.

Apex Store :: Riser Clip-ons

So I'm confused. Your saying you got the 50mm and they gave you 41mm ring. Why did you buy the 50mm when our forks are 41. Can someone clarify?

Spunky99 · 08-23-2010, 03:36 PM

Do they only make 50mm tube sleeves and supply adapters for other size forks?

How much lower can I mount this than the stock handlebars?

As my English is very bad, and I'm not understand almost anything

, I'll post a video with all the details of installation, adjustments and riding position. You will see that the piece is awesome!!

I'm wondering if he had to lower and top mount the clip-ons to clear the fairings though. That was my #1 concern since i saw this vid awhile back.
