dbNnc - Do you have custom fairings on your bike, or is it just the aftermarket screen?

bubba... what year is your bike... and what style of clip-ons are those?

The bikes a '93 model.

The clip-on's are Tingate, they're a company in Melbourne, Victoria.

The person I got them off just had them in shed and wasn't using them.

I was going to get original GS clip-ons, but they were going to be about $300 & had to come back order from Japan.

So do those bars improve handling? Is it more dangerous?
I figure there should be a good reason Suzuki stoped using clipons on the GS after '89.

i have not noticed much of a difference between a bike without and the same bike with clip ons. the gs i have has had clip ons on it since the guy that had it and dumped it in the barn... all the original parts are missing so i have no choice without high costs than to just buy new replacement clip ons.

Hi fettcols, this is my 1st post...I am interested in seeing more pics of your factory clips ons....I'd like to get some like yours...very clean looking! Where can I purchase that style and for how much? Also, was it difficult to install? Thank-you   --Marco in Boston   (04 500F)

so do these clip ons make it more of liek a lower grip lek a more "sportier" look????...sorry cant really tell
Title: Re: Pics of Clip ons and other bar options

they give you a much more "sporty" look and they do usually lower the front end of the bike a bit as they bolt directly over the forks ( they need to be pushed up in the locks) I actually like how mine sits with them... i am just trying to replace them with some better ones as mine are thrashed.
