I am in the middle of installing the above mentioned clip ons and am having a problem w/ the head light bracket. I don't really want to lower my head light and gauges. Any insight would be great.
I am attaching pics for reference.

If it helps, they are going on an s2r 800.
Not sure you are going to be able to make it fit without modding the headlight bracket.
Get zero rise clip-ons and mout them about the triples is the only thing I can see
Yeah, after some more research, I have come to the conclusion that I will have to do the "lowering mod". My buddy is a welder and works at a machine shop so I have the resources for this.
Thanks.
looks like you may have them swung a little too far forward. i encountered the same problem when i installed my LSL's.
luckily for me, i wanted to lower the headlight and gauges anyway, so i was able to sort it out.
BTW, looks like you have plenty of room to put them above the triple (or is that temporary to install?)
anyway, here is a pic of the finished product, if it helps

I haven't set my final position yet, but thanks for the heads-up. I have less than 1" of fork above the triple. To make the clip-ons work above the triple, I would need to raise my forks an additional .75-1.0 inches. I think that might change the geometry too much. As they are right now, it is the same geometry as stock.
I mocked everything up as close as I could get, and it looks like I will need to drop everything about 1.75 inches. Does this sound right, or is it too much?
