Default clip on handlebars?

I'm looking at putting on a pair of clip on handlebars. Has anyone done this or does anybody know anyone who has done this. I only found a pair in J&P and they are 41mm. I obviously need 49mm. I can only find them on the foriegn bike sites (yamaha, susuki, etc part dealers).If anyone has any input it would be appreciated.

I've never seen any. Maybe try to hunt down some of those custom chopper places and see if they carry anything??

Sport bike clip ons will be fine...49mm is 49mm. I just went out and got myself into position for clip ons....I hope you have a strong back.

You should move the Mid Controls back about 2-4 inches and I bet they would be fine. They are also going to hit the tank.

Take lots of pics. I bet you shave 10 pounds.

I would take a pair of 48's and use some sand paper to enlarge them a little. .5 millimeters is SMALL.

like you already mentioned - I have to believe that these will hit the tank when turned to the stops.

I bet they would look awesome......

I wonder what other mods you would have to do to make them work?
Are the bars 1" dia.
Is there enoungh space on the ends to accept your resevior, switch housing, and grips? Or will all that have to change too.
