Default Have a little problem :((

Hi guys!
Before few days I replace my original clip ons with new one, then I replace and the original brake/clutch levers with new one,

BUT now I have a problem with the gauge.


When I turn right, the clutch belt adjuster goes to the gauge and I can't turn right at all.
I try to correct the angle of the clutch lever, but without result... Tell me what to do... Is it possible to install universal speedometer and rev meter (something like "sport" gauge ?
I have and another idea. To mount the handlebars (clip ons) like an cbr F3 600, I mean up on the top steering triple clamp.


I hope You guys to give me an advice....

I`d look for a different solution. Pushing the shocks through the mounts will lower your front end, quite naturally, the same amount that you push them through. That however is not the problem, changing your front end rake angle is. By doing that you`re making the front end stand more upright than it was before and that can have a big, possibly negative, effect on your riding geometry making the steering superquick and "nervous". It will also change your riding position drastically and may even create more problems cause looking at the picture I`m fairly confident the bars will not clear the visor if you mount them on top of the triple T. Can you turn the handlebars back a little? It is possible to swap your gauge cluster however one that will work for more than 6 months will set you back hundreds and is quite a bit of work to mount and make work correctly.

There are low profile perch/cable bolts that you could swap out with your big one.

You could swap out to a universal gauge also, but that is going to be expensive.

Well, Mattson you're right for all that you say.
Can you turn the handlebars back a little?
If I turn them back and make full left or right turn, handlebars touch the frame.

I don't know how's on the other bike this part ( I don't know how's in english, sorry). But I think, If on other bikes is shorter than mine and is for the same handlebar (I mean the same diameter handlebar) it's possible to mount it and remove the problem.

And thank you very much I hope you can understand me

Hey, now I just came from my garage. I think If I replace this part (in my last post which is in red circle) with shorter I'll injure the movement of the clutch and will work not properly.

So... my last choice is to change a little bit the angle of the gauge and I think everything will be ok.

Judging by the gap to your hi/lo beam switch I would move the clutch perch closer to the switch. That should give you a little more room too.

^ was thinking the same thing. Move the whole lever out closer to the handle. Are those shorty levers? Cause if the lever comes out too far which I doubt you can order three finger shorty levers from ebay for roughly 15eur, where by the look of your current ones, are ordered from as well. I got them for both of my bikes and never want long ones again.

If it's just the locking nut that hits the gauge you can always get a regular nut, saw a slot into it for the cable and replace the big disc with the regular nut. It's not pretty but works.
