It would be much cheaper just to buy a pair of clip ons from a breakers from a bike with the same diameter forks.

In answer to your question though, what's to ask. If they fit, they fit, and if you're willing to spend £132, then there isn't much else to know.

They add 15bhp, stop you falling off on the ice and makes you irresistible to girls.

This may not be true.

Looks useful if you're going to be regularly taking them off for some reason.
Also this 'race' style are useful as you should be able to get replacement bars cheaply (just an ally tube basically) if you're expecting to crash a lot.

Otherwise, I'd find some cheaper ones the right size that fit.

How would 'normal' ones be fitted? I'm guessing you have to take the top yoke off which I don't know how Embarassed

Yes, you do have to take the top yolk off. Very easy to do; unbolt the top-yolk bolt and clamp bolts, then pull off; often a bit tight so a wooden drift underneath and a few taps from a club hammer can help.

How do you line the yokes up again correctly though? Do they leave a mark on the forks where they were?

I don't quite understand your question Confused. If you're not taking the bottom yolks out and there's a nut on the centre spindle below the top yolk, you just push it on. If there's no nut below the top yolk, you have a bit more faff to get the forks in position.

If you haven't take the bottom yolk/forks off, then you just push the top yolk down as far as it will go, if that's what you mean.
If forks are coming out, it's best to measure the amount the forks are sticking out before taking them off - or just guess when putting them back in Smile.

That's pretty much what I meant. With me having never done I've never given it much thought. Smile

You don't have to take them off on all bikes. My clip ons are above the top yoke.

Here's a Firestorm where the clip ons are attached to the forks above the top yoke. The same applies to the VFR750/800 models and Blackbird. I'm not sure about other brands.

Sorry about the crap picture. It looks like it was taken on a film camera in the '80s Laughing

Good point, plenty of bikes do it that way. Though, not so likely to work on a bike with wide bars as stock!

There is no space on top just the bolt thingy is there.

So to remove the top yoke I just undo those two bolts? I'll try and get a pic of my current set if it helps

Sorry about the pic it's the best I could find. My top yoke is exactly the same.

It looks to me you have a pinch bolt around the yolk stem too. My KTM has one there, but also has a bolt that screws into the stem at the top.

I'm not sure how that thing on yours works, but I'd expect it's some kind of bolt/nut.

which are a damn sight cheaper than clipons, and offer more adjustability?
