Or at least pony it up for enough time for me to make a mold...

Holy crap that's a good idea. Just make a mold and fill it with some ABS plastic or something.

I'm interested. Actually you could make a stylish mold for ABS clip ons. Also european clip ons seem to be taller, i have some pics around.

That, or pw less...that'd have to give you at least 2 hrs a day worth of freetime to day dream about this mechanical stuff.

Props to blueknyt.

I'll pitch for some bars if you need to go buy some to help this process along.  I like my dirtbike bars and all, just want some clipons...

It would only take an hour or two to take measuments and not take very long to model the part. It is a pretty basic design. I have SolidWorks and access to Catia. I do not have a need for the complete top clamp but need some 41mm clip-on knuckles. If I can help, let me know.

I like the design, but that would cost extra money. This is probably going to end up being fairly costly no matter what. As for the higher/lower thing, the bars already touch the tank on the '01+ models, I think that putting the bars lower might cause them to physically hit the tank at full lock, possibly not even allowing full lock.

As for the steering damper thing, again, I'm not sure if I can do that. I'm not experienced enough to design something outright and have it be good to go on the first time. Nor do I have the funds to test different models.

Yeah The cost ot put the cuts in would be pretty small, the only problem is that those cutouts would trap water.

I think the angle the bars are at and the height compared to the stock setup will be different. I think the bars will have a larger inside angle between them and the bars will sit like at the same hight as the top of the triple tree clamp.

here's everything I did... the top is the one you designed, the bottom is my design. on the left you see the add ons and cut outs in red, on the left is what it would look like. I'm getting that you guys aren't really into this idea but I would defanatly pay alittle extra for this version of what your doing. I donno if anyone easle would be into it though. would you be interested in making something like what I designed if there were say 20 or so orders?

custom look is cool but...also make sure it physically work witht he bike. make sure everthing is flush and nothing look out of plce, etc...

hey alpha, you should definitely make it so it works with the +01 models  

Quotethink the angle the bars are at and the height compared to the stock setup will be different. I think the bars will have a larger inside angle between them and the bars will sit like at the same hight as the top of the triple tree clamp.

that's exactly what I'm talking about. a little less pull back and the same hight as the tripple. in this quick and rough diagram I made, the first one is what I'm thinking of, and the second one is somthing like what the stock 89 set up is. I much rather have the first one.

i dont have a problem going without for 6months IF have have something to put in place.  send me the bars and ill repace my 89 stuff into the box and ship it back, Deal?

I was just looking aroud and found this. this is a gs500 apparently. probably a different front end, but its got that custom billet front end look going on. this is the kinda thing I'm talking about

That's Octanes Vortex equipped Kat front end wearing Track demon ...
Cool.
