I've been wanting to change up my bars recently and I like the look and idea of clip-ons. I have some off of a Super Sport, but they don't fit quite right. Any advice on some good clip-ons for a Monster 750?
Thanks,
~Zak~

You'll get better answers in Acc & Mods, so...
I'm going to move this.
Search around on here. You will find that guys and gals have gone with Swatt, LSL, woodcraft, speedymoto, the list goes on. There are quite a few threads on installation and trouble shooting as well. You might have to lower your headlight and guages to accomodate the clipons, there is a tutorial on that as well. Good luck and keep us posted.
I have the Swatt 1.5in rise mounted above the triple and I love it just far enough forward to really enhance the ride and easy enough on your back I love it
Hi, Scuby,
Would you mind posting or emailing me a pic? I am looking at those too.
Cheers

I'd find some used Cycle Cat's.
Just thought I'll share my experience and what I learnt in looking for clip-ons. It's mind-boggling and can be confusing.
First thing is to ascertain the fork size - usually 50 mm unless race forks were installed - then 53mm.
Next to determine is whether you will need clip-ons with risers or not, and the down angle. Clip-ons can be mounted below the triple or above (steering geometry will be affected, they say), and risers can help with the lowered position of clip-ons somewhat, although I believe that no clip-ons can give you same or higher height than stock handlebars, except for 3.5 inch risers clip-ons mounted above the triple. Some clip-ons cones in 2-piece so that the triple need not be completely removed for fitting the clip-ons.
From what I can gather,
CycleCats / Tomaselli - full adjustability, but usually spendy.

Apex - good value and adjustable down angles; 2-piece

LSL - cool design and has risers

Woodcraft - has risers but no adjustability otherwise; 2-piece

SWATT - range of different height risers

There are others out there, speedymotos, DP etc, but these are the main ones that I come across time and again. Hope that it helps.
Cheers
