Correct me if I'm wrong, but you'll still have the front brake on the bike with the clip-ons. So that means you can get those things installed and THEN figure out the front brake issue.

That's how I felt when I went for my test ride. Hope you get them brakes fixed quick so you got time to enjoy you bike before winter

Thanks Jo. Amazing what a difference the trees made on the handling.
I dont think I'm gonna mess with the brakes. Unfortunately I'm gonna just bring it to the dealer and see what they say. I hate having to pay them for service but I'm not gonna stress myself out trying to figure this one out.

Cool. Can't blame you. So where are the pictures of the clip-ons installed on the bike?

looking forward to seeing these on your bike!

i didnt read the entire thread, but skimmed through a lot of it. i think the forward controls will definitely make it less comfortable, but then a again my i choose looks over comfort on my FB lo... the bike mentioned in the beginning of the thread has forward controls and clip ons looks sick!!!!

Wah wah whah! We'll forgive you for cables which aren't the right length.
You primed this freakin' thread, so "get out in your garage and build something" while you still have our attention.
