Default Finally decided to go to the RSD Clip-Ons route....work in progress

Thought I would post some very early pics of my ever evolving 48 with new RSD Slip-Ons. This is a work in progress as I still have to install the new cables from Magnum Shielding and also install my ultra rad bar end mirrors from CRG Racing....bike is starting to get a gritty look....

Hello,
This is my first post on these forums. Ive been reading posts for months on here. I have a 48 and am about to put some RSD clips on. I was wondering if you have a picture of what your risers look like without a bar mounted to them? That was my only worry when deciding to get the clip ons.

Welcome joedown....

The riser is a mod I'm also working on...
What I have planned (so I can mount my SE Shift Light) is to take a bar of 1" round stock of 6061 aluminum and cut it to length (powder coat gloss black) to fill the riser area plus extend out about an inch on one side to accomodate the shift light mount...

I am not much into cafe-racer looking Sportys but I have to say that yours looks really good!

I believe it's the RSD "cafe" seat.


Which leads me to my question:

Does the seat sit you further back as well as slightly higher or just higher up in the same location?


Thanks.
