Hey guys,

Little questions for you track dayers.

On my zx6r the clip ons are held in place by 2 pinch bolts on the clamps and then a bolt into the top yoke which I guess does two things 1 guarantees the correct postion (or what kawasaki think is right) and 2 further secures the clip on.

So my question: Would you (or do you ) remover the bolt into the yoke?

I can see an advantage of removing them that in the event of an off the clip on isn't anchored quite as much and thus could move a bit rather than snapping or busting the yoke.

Am I on the right track or not worth the mither?

Thumbs Up

Not worth the mither, just take a spare bar.

Mine are dropped lower on the fork so are not "secured" to the yoke. I personally don't care if I bin it, but then again if I did, clip ons are the LEAST of my worries Laughing

The pinch bolt should generally be tight enough that you'll bend the tube anyway.

I'd remove the bolt to the yolk if I wanted to adjust the angle.

I believe yours take a generic clip on bar paddy - so should only cost a few quid to replace - or buy a 7/8" aluminium tube and make your own by cutting with a hacksaw, then grinding out the notch for the pinch bolt.
