Hi, I'm a newb and I was wondering where or what brand makes clip-ons that are built into the triple tree clamp? I want the clip-ons posture but with also a bit of rise as I am not tall of stature. Here are pics of something similar to what I'm talking about:

I'm not 100% sure if they'll have what you need, but I found a lot of great handlebars at www.oldbikeparts.com. I basically transformed my girlfriends gs500e into a cafe racer by simply putting on an awesome set of clubman bars. They are 1 inch down and about 3 inches forward. She's only 5'6", and she says that the new handlebars really help with the pain that she used to experiance from riding while sitting straight up and down. The install took me about 30 minutes after working out all the quirks. Also, if you choose that path, you may want the stock bar-end weights from the original bars. Apparently, they deaden a lot of the road vibration and make it a lot more comfortable to ride. As far as clip-ons go, there are probably a few models of them at the aforementioned site, www.oldbikeparts.com. Hope I could help!
If you own a 10 speed!

Sorry about the old link. You're right, it would be great if you own a 10 speed. I meant to send you to www.oldbikebarn.com. That's where I got my girlfriends bars. Sorry, about the mix-up, I'm out of it today.

Cool.
Srinath.
Thanks Bokin for the link. The Clubman sport bar is pretty nice but I'm wondering if there are any clearance issues. Also how do they compare with Srinath and Suburban Machinery bars in terms of rise and forwardness? Appreciate the help fellas.
