Clubman bars - thoughts?

[davehong]

Anyone have these or know of someone who does?

I like the fact they are 4-way adj. and can flip em to fit my needs...

No FHE, but I like the adjustment range.

(Are your stock bars the tapered ones? If so, these won't fit)

Another thing - please get the black ones and NOT the chrome.

Another thing II - maybe mount them with a little lock tite here and there? There will be quite some weight on the joints.

i dunno...they're the stock M620 bars.

and yes i will get the black ones.

7/8ths? or 1inch? anyone know the stock size?

[Artful]

7/8"

I've considered these bars as well. Please be aware that they are pretty wide for the Monster, saw a photo somewhere and they looked a bit odd. Could probably be hacked down a bit as needed.

If you do get them, post plenty of pictures. Haven't written them off completely

doesn't appear to allow the use of adjustable forks

[davehong]

artful: will do.

berg: why not?

Most adj forks will stand proud of the triple by an inch and some, usually requires a clipon to clear.

oh i see. i dont plan on adj. forks during the life of the bike...so far.

I already have those or similar to those.  I think they may be a different brand.  Just haven't installed them just yet.

I do have adjustable forks and there are no clearance issues.  I've seen adjustable forks installed on bikes with OEM bars so I really don't see why you couldn't with adjustable bars.  Unless of course you want to lower your front end to a point where the forks would go up past the bars.

Couldn't install yet because I have an S2R which have the tapered magura bars which are 28mm (1 1/8") at the center.  Chris from Desmoworld is making me replacement bar clamps so that I can install standard 22mm (7/8") bars.

Plan on installing them within the next month hopefully.  I'll post some pics when I do.
