I am thinking about getting a set of aftermarket clipons for my bike. I know they will make the seating stance a lil more fwd etc. I just want to know what ones you all think are the best ones out in the $100 - $150 range.

 

I have the Vortex 43mm installed on my 01 F4i. A couple things. Good or bad it is up to you.

1. turning radius is less.
2. you can not lock the handlebars when you turn to the left lock position. You can lock if you turn to the right lock position.
3. 7 degree down handlebar position is a lot more comfortable.
4. you can adjust them closer to you so you are not leaning so far forward.
5. you will need to drill a couple holes in the new clip on's for the turn signal and switch assembly fit correctly.

I use the ProGrip SCS Lock-On 700 grips....awesome!! I am used to the ride with the Vortex. U-Turns to kind of suck and kind of scary the first time because your hand touches the gas tank. It kind of feels like you are going to lock the handlebars and fall over. Fix, counter balance.

I hope this helps you. Only my opinion and experience. Everyone rides a little different.

 

Do you have photos of these handle bars mounted i can't seem to get mine to clip on.
