Title: Clip-ons & upper triple question... Post by: DirtyDuc on May 18, 2008, 12:50:35 PM I have a 2000 M750 that I am fixing up & I'm thinking about putting on some clip-ons. however, I fear that the upper triple will then look sloppy where the bar risers were removed.
I was thinking about putting on another upper triple from a different bike. What will fit? Can I use the triple from a 2000 900SS?? Anyway, I'm really just trying ot figure out what my options are, what have others done & does anybody have pics so I can see what it will look like? Thanks!

The CycleCat idea is awesone for someone with more $$ in their pocket ;) However, the 900SS upper & lower may also be a do-able option... Thanks for the ideas! Mike Title: Re: Clip-ons & upper triple question... Post by: rockaduc on May 20, 2008, 02:01:03 PM Wow, that paint job looks great!
+1 gives me an idea of my own. [evil] Title: Re: Clip-ons & upper triple question...

True, it will steer quicker but you'll lose high speed stability. It's on the same lines as raising the rear or lowering the front. |
