Right, this is a bit specific i know, but i figured it would be worth asking the question at the same time as i am doing my own bit of research...

Basically what i need is a set of 37mm clip-ons.

So... Would somebody be able to give me an idea of what bikes carry 37mm forks, that also use a race style of clipons for handlebars...

Cheers Thumbs Up

If you know you need the clip-ons, haven't you got the bike already? Its early, so I apologise if I've missed the point by miles! lol

Would tubular bars fit? If so, old Micron 'drops' would do the trick... Very cool too in a classic cafe racer sort of way...

The Model i have is the one with original clipon bars but they are raised from the top yoke.

To fit renthal style bars i would need the conversion for the top yoke anyway, which will prove more costly.

That idea had occured to me though Thumbs Up

Get a mate who's handy with a welder to make you some. I made a clipon for my Bros from some scrap steel I had lying around. Took me a few hours, probably two evenings, but then again I'm not a professional so someone with the right tools and knowledge could make a pair in an hour.
