Default clip on bars with a little flare

With the style this guy's bike is shaping up to have it requires something more than plain clip ons.









Clip ons are cool but they didn't fit in on this bike right out of the box. He's set on clip ons so I added a little garage built flare to them.

Thanks.

you try them under the top tree clamp? IMO might look cool with the arc in the bars hugging around the headlight. i love the aggressive sport look of clip on bars.

Looks really good, Mike. It just sucks cause the pullback is not adjustable now. Still, very sharp and creative!

That's exactly how I wanted to install them...and why the loop is there but he wants them on top. I think I'll install them below the upper tree just to show him.

Thanks. How often do you adjust yours? He positioned the basic clip ons the way he wanted them and I built from there with stainless.

It's from a Yamaha XS650. They use our tanks on their bikes all the time so why not? lol

Those are awesome. Looks like a mesh of old school clubmans with new school clip ons.
