Clip ons. Do I need them to be adjustable? Help me think, please..

[Chchadder]

You know, i never realize that. It was close, but it fit fine. so i never thought about it. lol

Anyway, stopintime, you can still go for speedymoto clip ons, they look the same as Apex clip ons, but with some rise. The biggest problem i had with the apexs were the banjo bolts and resovoirs. I wish i could showed you a pic of how me and chachdder did it, it wasnt pretty. he ended up having buying radials for both clutch and brake as well as speigler lines.

Honestly, you can always buy them, and see how creative you can get at fitting them. Im not sure if the speedymotos are impossible, or just hard. the coffins may not be able to go on them entirely. In that case you can always sell them. OR you can just upgrade to stock S2R1000 masters. Hell you could even go for Masters from other bikes if the reservoir is the right size.

Yeah, wasn't much fun getting everything to fit with the coffin reservoirs but it all worked eventually.  Plus just another excuse to buy more stuff since the clearance on the brake and clutch were almost non-existent.

I got an answer from William Swatt - he says they have put their clip ons on several coffin equipped Monsters without problems - my guess is he's talking about clip ons WITH rise(?).

I also asked if he knows anything about comparable heights, stock vs clip ons. We'll see what he replies.

The consensus seems to be that there IS no problem with clip ons WITH rise. Without rise, all/most clip on applications will mean trouble because the reservoirs/lines will hit headlight/bracket/fairing. No reports on the clip on itself creating issues.

Did someone say "infinite adjustability"? With these you can change not only the rise, but also the angle of the bar itself.

Thanks Faster and Super 

All of these last contributions make me sure I will find something suitable, in the end.

Back to Swatt: another email from William Swatt, he's out of the shop and can't confirm, but his estimate on the 2.5" rise clip ons is that they will be
"a little lower than stock and a few inches forward". In my mind we're more like an inch down and maybe an inch forward, but my mind isn't always trustworthy If he actually measures precisely when he's back, I will report back to you guys. Good solid facts are always nice.

Now, enjoy your Christmas - we'll talk more later on
