well, ive decided that i really do like my GS. there are just a few things that i wanna change on it. after doing more research on just how easy it is, i am going to convert to a GS-E and i want some clubman bars among other little bits and pieces.

my only question is: are there any issues with clubman bars fitting properly? my dealer said he can get me some for around 22$ and he was just concerned that they might hit the tank.

also if anyone here has a GS with those bars can i see some more pics of them? the ones on the wiki are okay, but they dont really show how they fit and how it changes your riding position.

Before he orders the bars, find out how wide they are before they bend.  The set thats on my GS500 don't clear the triple clamp, so you can't rotate them forward enough to put them in the proper orientation, making them painful to use.

ahhhhh alright thanks, how about tank clearance though? you think i have to worry about them hitting it at lock?

Hard to say, once I get my clipons setup I'll post some pics.

Where did you get those caps that go in where your stock mirrors screw in? I took mine off since I'm using bar end mirrors, and I need something to fill those holes. I was thinking about getting two bolts, but I like the look of what you're running.

You might want to check intot some SM1-2's before doing the clubmans or just a dragbar. If im not mistaken, the clubmans are pretty low.

They are a gxsr style mirror they have the integrated turn signals in them. if you going to an E style they would be great cause you wouldn't have to find a place to mount your turn signals

Ah, if mine had come with THOSE clubmans I would have retained them I think.  Oh well, clipons are here already, can't stop now!

I was talking about these, the little black caps that are plugging the hole where your stock mirrors were. Circled in red.

I likes my clubmans... and they don't hit at lock.

Ok, thanks importbabe.

guitarking what are the size of those clubmans and where did you get them? i was thinking about doing clip ons but those look great and if they clear the fairing and dont hit at lock then im definatly going to get some

thanks for those pics bucks, that was exactly what i was looking for.

i got started on this little project today, all the fairings and such are off, tomorrow im gonna order the bars, risers, bar end mirrors, headlight, turn signals and the headlight mounting bracket. is there anything else im missing?

while i have her apart im gonna go through the fuel system and see if i can get rid of that starvation problem. the things the wiki says to check seem like they should be pretty easy, hopefully i wont have to take it to the dealer.

and pics of the whole thing should be here tomorrow night.

That is a pic of guitarking's bike, his pic. I just hosted it and uploaded, so it could be seen in the thread.

CLUBMAN'S as a style and brand come only in one size. With mine i Had to get dirtbike risers from pitposse.com becaue they sat to low they look fine and arent noticed. they only thing i did was i widened the bars in the center about an inch so they were a lil farther away from my tank at lock. I believe they were fine but i had already cut them anyways. so get the bars get the risers put them togather then see if they need to be widened if so email me and i can tell you an easy way to do it.

mine too... they were far too narrow to use.  So I cut em in half and bolted one to each clamp and took the cap out of the ends and put em in the middle.  No worries!

anyone know where i can get some risers? my dealer cant seem to find them and im having some trouble finding them on ebay.
