Clip ons help
Right I want to get shot of my clip ons for some nicer looking ones
Now I've seen loads but am worried about they might feel to low.
I want to keep the storm riding position if I can
Looking at them
What you think?

If you can stretch to a set of gilles vario bars I can highly recommend.
Fantastic build quality and they look the dogs danglies too!

Re: Clip ons help
They are pricey. I managed a good deal from Calsport but then I was trying to raise the bars as well.
The second set look the business. They do look a little lower than stand standard but then you could compensate by angling them back a little more.

Re: Clip ons help
Why not keep the Storm ones then. Don't forget the weights as well. I expect you can just slide the Storm ones inside the bar if they are the same diameter.I want to keep the storm riding position if I can
I got some later model Storm ones with the extra 5 degrree lift. Compared to the originals, I would say they are about 1/2 inch higher by the time you get to the ends, which surprisingly does make quite a big difference. If I had the money and could afford aftermarket, then it would be Apex for me.

Or you could go to these. It will give you infinite adjust ability from full on racy to 4 " raised easy riding position.

Re: Clip ons help
Don't really want to go higher or lower but keep it how it is. I think they just look pretty

Re: Clip ons help
Fitted them today and they seem very well made. Couple of marks on the clamps am not happy about but that's life. As for the bars well they sit higher then the storm ones but angle wise they are lower.
Keep thing I should of went for the other ones
But I'll try them first and see how I get on in the next couple of days
