Ok home from bash and got all my parts for the Tripletree/Clipon change over.. I will document the work needed when I tear this apart over the next week or so...

total cost was under $500

Cycle Cat top clamp $99

Gilles Variobar Clip-ons with 100mm risers (this eliminates the need to lower the bike and screwing up the handling of the bike) $305

Where does this put the bars vs. stock location with the 100mm riser? It's definately gonna look cool.

I got the VarioBar (50mm) kit off the Bay for $165 and the risers for $140 from Ryders Connection (board sponsor)

I will have a better idea of range of adjustment when I get these on.. (maybe this weekend if the weather is cold)

So what happened? You got pics Mr. B
sure thing... I made one mistake on this upgrade... I used the 100MM risers.. I should have used the 80MM riser so that they could sit flush up against the top triple tree..

The adjustable limits of the system is really nice.. you can set the bar height, angle front to rear and relative to the ground (virtually put the bars anywhere you want barring contact with inner panels and stretching of any cables)


you can rotate mount around shock tube

This is really hard to photograph as everything is black or hidden

Grip can be adjusted from pointing bar end at ground to parallel to ground

Here you can roll the bars front to rear (towards or away from you)

That is one sweet setup. Very very nice.

And what hand grips are those? Also sweet.
