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.

That's a very clever design [thumbsup]
they mount on the risers... which are rubber mounted...
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
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.
How often do you really adjust your suspension though. Really.
I'm a whore for Woodcraft. Good stuff from a good company [thumbsup]
Nice find. I think I like them!
ill wait to see them on a bike to judge
but, yeah three triples... woodcraft is a great company though it seems

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]
i dont think it will look too weird if the top triple was PC'd black to match.
Isn't the whole concept with clipons that they... clip on the fork legs? [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. [thumbsup]
Nothing new and they could have done better IMHO. I had a set of crossroads on a 2006 Buell XB12Ss that bolted directly to the top triple and left the adjuster exposed.

i would rather get a set of SUburban Machinery handlebars. cleaner look IMHO, not as bad as i thought it would be though.
I guess that's nice for simplicity, but doesn't come close to this sexyness

Really liking those mirrors, simple and don't stick out too far. 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.
IMHO, those crossroads look awful...
