Title: help me settle on clip ons. Post by: xcaptainxbloodx on May 07, 2009, 11:12:25 PM so my speedymoto tallboys have another 3 weeks in delays and as I was sketchy on getting them in the first place im now cancelling my order and going with either the tomaselli adjustables (first choice) or the swatts with either a 2.5"or 3.5" rise. I want an aggressive stance so im not really looking for rise unless its necessary for them to fit.
I have 999 master cylinders and plan on lowering the headlight/gauges at the same time as I install. so who used what and what did you do to install them? my local shop is telling me that ONLY the speedymotos will fit without serious mods...

I already waited a month... and now they tell me 3 weeks more.... :-\ Title: Re: help me settle on clip ons. Post by: xcaptainxbloodx on May 08, 2009, 12:16:03 AM You too huh.... I already waited a month... and now they tell me 3 weeks more.... :-\ yeah I ordered mine on the 8th and he called me yesterday to let me know about the further delay. Im not to bummed about it though, I have a nagging feeling that they wont be aggressive enough. if you want agressive stance and adjustibility tommys are the way to go, but thye look fugly ( i had them sold them for Cycle cats) tomasellis dont go with the monster eh? I always lusted after them for my old cafe bike and was hoping to finally get em. got any pics of your bike with them mounted? Title: Re: help me settle on clip ons. Post by: herm on May 08, 2009, 05:34:13 AM check out the LSL clip ons.
(http://stores.sportbiketrackgear.com/catalog/sportmatchlsl.jpg) i have them on my s2r. can post pics if you're interested. Title: Re: help me settle on clip ons. Post by: hackers2r on May 08, 2009, 07:48:41 AM I am in the same boat. Mine are being mounted above the triple though. I know of Speedymoto cause everyone goes with them. The Tommasellis don't look hideos in the pictures I've found. The SWATT's don't look bad either. And I like the look of the LSL's a lot. If anyone has pics of any of these setups, please post some pictures. I believe I'm in the clear with my coffin reservoirs as they're being mounted above the triple. Thanks.

I always lusted after them for my old cafe bike and was hoping to finally get em. got any pics of your bike with them mounted? I never minded the look of the tom's. Here's some pics of them mounted up... (And if you're wanting aggressive, they are the place to look.)

(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2210/2121596035_3051919571_b.jpg) now with cycle cats (http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3220/3131933942_b6b0e8b097_o.jpg) the toms are THE BEST for adjustibility, you can do anything you want with them, but it everyone has their own taste, i jsut really disliked the looks of it. Title: Re: help me settle on clip ons. Post by: xcaptainxbloodx on May 08, 2009, 01:32:09 PM so the toms look like what im getting. the pics you guys posted it doesnt look like it comes close to the headlight bracket so I assume install was pretty "easy"?

I actually think they look fine - not pretty at all, but certainly functional. And kinda mean... They are AWESOME as far as handling (but I wanted to be low), and the adjustability iis fantastic. No problem on install either (below the triple.) I give 'em a big [thumbsup] Title: Re: help me settle on clip ons. Post by: xcaptainxbloodx on May 08, 2009, 06:07:41 PM sold, looks like ill be placing an order for the toms and dual headlights tomorrow (when my refund check is in).
maybe I can do a DIY guide for clip ons, headlight lowering and dual headlight instalation.... Title: Re: help me settle on clip ons. Post by: herm on May 08, 2009, 06:22:33 PM I am in the same boat.

I give 'em a big [thumbsup] hahaha, the main reason why i sold them was cause i didnt like the look! they certainly worked great though, kind of a pregnant dog to set them up perfect since it has millions of positions. dual headlights, lowered guages and lights, + toms? Sonds like a job for Monsterparts.com thats how my old bike was set up! |
