They may hit your fairings... If you get em and they do I'll buy em from you.. But don't clubmans and fairings kinda seem like oil and water?
What do you think about clipons?
If it comes out of your body you shouldn't be afraid to hold it in your hand! :o

Not big on clipons I always think if I stop to hard they will go forward. I know that is a very slim chance but......
any way I am getting some for my other bike and just was wondering if they will fit the F before I take every thing a part and fined out if they will not work or will work.

Haha, there is alot of anti fairing people on this board.  I happen to like both looks.  The naked looks nice but the fairing do make the bike look like more of a recer so I guess its what ever you are into.

I did get the F though and I love it. :kiss3:

Hey guys,

I have a set of clubmans that I bought for my '97 GS500.  I wanted to put them in the low position but they wouldn't fit around the triple tree.  If any of you guys would like them make me an offer and their yours.

Ok guys I know that there has been alot of dis. on this topic in the past but no one has ever came out and gave a yes or no on it. That is why I bring it up so I guess I will just have to try it and see.  :dunno_white:

Now, compare the pictures of the faired model with the ones with the clubman bars...the clubmans look a little low, they look like they are below the main frame rail, and when you look at the faired model, the fairing is a little higher on the frame.
