1. THey steer the bike.

2. Depends on who you ask.

3. See #1

Do a search of "clip ons, clip on bars, and SM2 bars" and you might just might find all of the answer you are looking for.

Clip on bars fix to the fork legs instead of the top yoke.

Yep they're the muts nuts

They give you a more sporting riding position.

I have them and would never go back.

Hey AJ, next time to save some typing just type SEARCH NOOBY

Matty B 500 · June 28, 2006, 04:08:15 AM

I got some from an 89 GS

I love em! I am somewhat tall so I didnt like to position of the stock bars... the clipons are perfect.. for me they make the ride more comfortable and enjoyable

Matty B 500 · June 28, 2006, 08:01:37 AM

are they easy to install and how much are they? this is my first bike and im only 16. sory for all the questions but they look sweet as f%$k.

scottpA_GS · June 28, 2006, 08:22:07 AM

Well ... the 89s are a bit hard to find I guess. Should be able to get them used from an 89 on eBay for $40-80.00 ? I am not sure about other types. I got mine on the board along w/ some other stuff off an 89

The install was VERY easy... They bolt right up to everything that the 90-00 Gs already has

Took about 30 Mins

Matty B 500 · June 28, 2006, 08:24:32 AM

and now ur gonna tell me they dont make them for the F.

scottpA_GS · June 28, 2006, 08:26:17 AM

I dont know if the 89s work on the F or not... maybe do a quick search or someone who knows will chime in...

I do know there are aftermarket ones you can use.. but I think most of them are $$$

Matty B 500 · June 28, 2006, 08:27:33 AM

but they do make them for the F?

not really, you would have to find some that would clear the fairings.

Matty B 500 · June 28, 2006, 08:32:19 AM

yeah but iv notced in that one spot where they would be ... the fairing goes really far front and then it comes up into the windscreen thiers alot of room thier.

scottpA_GS · June 28, 2006, 08:33:54 AM

Matty B 500 · June 28, 2006, 08:36:00 AM

ets_gs500f2004 · June 28, 2006, 09:19:25 AM

i think it could fit on an f model...... go to www.bikepics.com and u can c some 89 with fearings...... so i dont think it would be a problem

Well another option if you can't find the clip-ons is to go with the Laverda Bars.. I have them on mine and cut them a bit to move the grips closer together... One of these days I will actually take some pics of it...
