hi everybody, i really want to get clip ons, but most new ones like vortex and what not cost $100 if not more! :o anyway, i managed to find some clip ons off of a fzr 600 but they are 38 mm. can anyone think of a way to make these fit onto the 37mm stock forks of our beloved gs? :dunno_white:

....buy the 38 mm forks....modify the triples....get a custom axle and spacers....slap on a home-made front fender.... :icon_mrgreen:...
Get a 1/2 mm strip of metal and jam it in there... Maybe that wouldn't be safe... :dunno_white:
you could always just buy some 37mm ones... I have a set of cheapo ones you can have for 20 bucks.
I ran those exact clip ons for a bit, they worked fine for me with a very little bit of rubber on the inside. 1mm isn't much of a difference, but something was necessary. If that_guy is parting with them, pick em up, thats the easiest route. Unless you want the Vortec set for $300+. :cookoo:
mine are 37mm black. i think there is a pic on here somewhere actually if you search my posts. I have the vortex ones because they came with my bike and I love them. I mean a clip ons a clip on but the 3 allen clamp seems alot more secure than a one bolt setup or something of the sort. But hey for 20 bucks you could hae something to try out and see if you like em..

I did that to mount mine, as the clip-ons are about 37.8mm. Used a .5mm strip of aluminium as a shim. :thumb:
or you could sell those and buy my 37mm race clipons :icon_rolleyes:
not sure, what would be the best clip ons for a titan fairing kit

If I remember correctly Airtech says to use "clubman" style bars. BikeMaster makes a set that are really inexpensive.
bikemaster clubman bars don't go on just right, i know because i have them! the middle bend in them is not enough to to clear the upper triple and u will hve to turn them upside down basically. its hard to explain, but try some other ones, the bikemaster ones aren't quit ethe right size for the desired look.
