Handle bars - Again
I never did find the right side clip on I needed so I said screw it and decited to buy new handle bars all together.
On Ebay I was able to find the right clip-on shipped for $80 and@ http://www.kneedraggers.comI could buy a brand new set for $130. So I bought the VORTEX racing clip-ons at kneedraggers so my first question is, has anyone used these? and my second question is when I ordered them they needed to know what diammetertubes I needed and I told them I didn't know? So the guy looked it up in his system and told me they are 41mm. So I was wondering if anyone knows if that is right or not?

Cancel your order, they do not, I repeat, DO NOT fit unless Vortex has redesigned them within the last 9 months. Here's a picture of the version I had with the controls and master cylinder mounted. The way they have it, the clip-on's base doesn't allow enough clearance for the master cylinder. Also, the radial master cylinders (at least the brembos) won't let you run the clip-ons cuz they hit the stock gauges

RE: Handle bars - Again
I just bought a used one out of Ohio @ http://www.cycletherapy.comthey say that it will be straight, no bends, but we will see [&:]This clip-on is the same one I originally saw on ebay and thought they were crazy, no way was I going to spend $80 bucks on 1 used clip-on. So I shopped around a little and found the Vortex set for $130, thought it was a great deal, brand new, shinny silver, and for only 50 bucks more I get both sides, what a steal! Well as luck would have I madea total *** out of myself, and ended up spending more money in shipping, and restocking fees, than if i would have gone with the orginal equipment the first time. So let this be a lesson to all 
Oh well live and learn!
