You need to be more specific on the type of clip on you want.
There are OEM ones (3 styles of which only one fits properly on 2001+ tanks) and after-market brands.

Might be helpful to know more of what you want for rear sets, too. What do you want: lower, higher or what for foor position or just for style?
There is Raask and Gimbel ( nearly $300 for either) and used ones from other bikes that people have used.

He is looking for an agressive riding position, as he is setting up his bike for the track.  I would assume the lower, and more tucked the better for that type of thing?... probably depends how much time you'll spend doing it too (on or off the track if you use the bike for both)

Here is the thread I'm pulling from below.

I'll add that it'll be cheaper to get 37mm ebay clip-ons ($60-100 new) over hard-to-find OEM 89-90 clip-ons ($140+ used), and the ebay ones you can probably get a lower position if you mount them below the triple, etc..

I'm sure adidasguy can hook you up with OEM if want to go that route too.

I like the ones I have on my 07. They certainly put you lower and more forward IMO but still good enough to ride straight up at lower speeds. However, they do make you lower the front end about 1.5" to fit on top of the triple.

89 clip ons are the only way to go IMHO. They look stock and add just a bit of aggression while letting you go into a very good tuck.
