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,

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

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



http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/APEX1/Bars-Mirrors/APEX1.html

LSL - cool design and has risers



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

http://www.woodcraft-cfm.com/Scripts/prodList.asp?idCategory=12690

SWATT - range of different height risers



http://www.swattmotorcycle.com/Clip-Ons.html

Motowheels - non-adjustable but comes with add-on riser kit if you need it.

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
