Default 16 roadster clipons installed

Ive seen a few threads on here about clipons on theses roadsters but not much info so i thought i would share my experience with these i had the dealer install them at my 1000 mile service it was only $120 more for them to do it first thing i noticed is how much they changed how the bike handles it handeld good before but the clipons make the bike much more precise in turning and taking corners it handles fantastic now as for comfort i dont think there to bad you do lean over quite a bit but not as bad as my cbr was im fine with the mid controls but i think rear sets will be needed eventually as you are at an acquerd angle they go along with the look of of the bike really well and they look good

I do think the clip ons look great, just looks like it would really get to my lower back and shoulders. My sport bike riding position ability has long passed with age.

Looks good and not a bad price. If you’re happy with it that’s all that matters.
