I just started roadracing my Gs and had a blast, but would like to change a couple things to make it a funner time. First, i want to put some 37mm clip ons, but the silver clamp, where the instrument panel bolts to, looks like its in the way, and some more agressive foot pegs would be nice. any advice?

Woodcraft makes some pegs for the GS.  I believe they are the only ones who make 'em.

Regarding the clipons, you'll have to slide the top triple clamp down a bit in order for you to put the clipons on.

Or put the clip ons below the triple clamp, which is okay for racing, but a pain in the arse for street riding

his wording was correct, you are sliding the tripe down. i guess this is just another case of seeing the glass half empty half full, all on perspective.

Okay for the trackbike but anyone over 5ft would probably have an issue with the riding position.   O0

Clubmans are dirt cheap and you get the same result, but without the cool factor.

straight bars are far cooler on naked bikes...clip-ons look out of place.  I would go for clubman bars, SS bars, or just get a $15 drag bar...I personally love drag bars.
