Title: Installing Clip-ons - plastic locating nub inside controls Post by: Mr.Saturn on December 05, 2009, 07:02:40 PM Generally do you cut/melt the little plastic nubs off or drill the new clip-ons? I don't wanna melt them away if they're critical for preventing the controls from slipping and rotating around the bar. Also the throttle is metal, so I'm thinking drilling a small cutout is probably the best option.

I generally cut 'em off, but whatever you want to do is fine. Any sort of tape or shim will work just fine if you're concerned about the controls rotating on the bars. I've used Duct-tape, electrical tape, bits of rubber, thin metal with a liquid gasket, or whatever I have lying around that looks like it'd work well. Other times, they clamp down just fine on their own. Title: Re: Installing Clip-ons - plastic locating nub inside controls Post by: Mr.Saturn on December 05, 2009, 08:51:09 PM Thanks, worked great!

Looks pretty good but I'm still planning to lower the headlight/clocks in the future. Really not a fan of how tight fitting everything is behind the headlight at the moment.
