I have them.  They are far from plug-and-play.  :(

1) You need to lower your headlight or find another way to avoid the headlight brackets.  This is common for lots of clip-ons, though.

2) You need spacers if your bike has coffin reservoirs.  Again, pretty common.

3) The top-triple on a the Sport is slimmer in the front.  As a result, the mounts hit a monster top triple, as well as the heads of the pinch bolts.  I ground away enough material to clear, but I can't say I was excited to do it.  They are really beefy, so I feel they are still safe, but I don't recommend it for the faint of heart.

I don't have photos handy, but will take some when I get a chance.

already lowered the headlight a bunch, as well as putting the gauges below the speedy moto top triple.

the pic shows my set up now, with the LSL clip ons. but the feel a little too low for me, and i have no room to move them up. the ultimate hope would be that the sport classic clip ons would give me another inch or so in height.......????

Ok, with your set up they probably ARE plug and play!  [thumbsup]

I have the "tall" version from the newer models.  It is probably 2" taller than what you have now.

If you PM me with your email addy I can forward a picture.  (No promises on quality ... no time for a photo shoot right now!)

Dig around here and there are these clip ons by a company named SWAT or something that makes clip ons with 3" rise similar to CCs but with less adjstibility.
