Title: New Clipons from Woodcraft for 696/1100 Post by: DucNaked on March 16, 2011, 12:20:49 PM Looks like Woodcraft is coming out with a model specific clipon for the 696/1100.
These look like they mount to the top of the stock triple. Might be a good option for someone who wants to swap back and forth from bars to clipons. Not the best looking, but no doubt very functional. Pricepoint around $200. Thanks to Jeff from Monsterparts for the info.

this is very wierd. it will look like you have 3 triples and forget getting upgraded forks.. infact i wonder it the stock 1100 adjustable fork will fit Title: Re: New Clipons from Woodcraft for 696/1100 Post by: ungeheuer on March 16, 2011, 04:22:37 PM That is a cute solution.... Seems like a cliponesque variation on the clubman type bars theme.
Guess if it blocks access to M1100 fork adjusters - you just have to remove 4 bolts to get these bars off and make your adjustment... not ideal, but not completely onerous either.

I'm a whore for Woodcraft. Good stuff from a good company [thumbsup] Title: Re: New Clipons from Woodcraft for 696/1100 Post by: ChrisH on March 16, 2011, 08:35:03 PM Nice find. I think I like them!
Title: Re: New Clipons from Woodcraft for 696/1100 Post by: DucatiTorrey on March 17, 2011, 04:49:14 PM ill wait to see them on a bike to judge
but, yeah three triples... woodcraft is a great company though it seems Title: Re: New Clipons from Woodcraft for 696/1100 Post by: JEFF_H on March 18, 2011, 08:30:24 AM this is very wierd. it will look like you have 3 triples Well, duh. they are called triples ;D Title: Re: New Clipons from Woodcraft for 696/1100 Post by: xplodee on March 19, 2011, 07:09:00 AM That is a cute solution....

I can't reach the top adjustment in my ohlins forks without removing the bars anyway, so I do t see how this is much different than stock.

Nice [thumbsup]they are called triples ;D Title: Re: New Clipons from Woodcraft for 696/1100 Post by: DucatiTorrey on March 19, 2011, 01:59:23 PM i dont think it will look too weird if the top triple was PC'd black to match.

[drink] Well there is that. They also change how much of the riders weight is distributed to the front end. And changes the riding position. Another plus is that replacing a bent clipon bar is much cheaper than a new set of handlebars.

I had a set of crossroads on a 2006 Buell XB12Ss that bolted directly to the top triple and left the adjuster exposed.

I never minded the stockers until yesterday after installing the new triple and clip-ons... they just don't look right anymore. Of course, it might just be that mod bug bullying me again!

Rhinomoto bar-end sliders and CRG 3" Lanesplitters. Great visibility, no elbow blockage like standard mount mirrors.
