Familiar with these? Clip ons with up to 3.5 inch rise.

I just thought these would be ok for someone who wants clip ons, but not as low as they usually are....

They look pretty good.  Nice Price! Any idea how they compare to the rise on the Rizoma's (that can't seem to be found!)?

I saw them at the dealer show in Indy last year. They will work for sure. I got the impression that they are geared mor for the racers. They are not as finished as the Rizoma or Cycle Cat stuff but totally functional. The owners name is Swatt and he is a Ducati guy and he sponsors Mike Fliss (SP)who worked for Section 8.

I guess his team will be up for any challenge

I'm just full of it, right?

I've been waiting for APEX to come out with their risers forever.... I guess I'm out of excuses now.

Good find

Ahhh, I had to read that twice, then I felt stupid for not getting it the first time.

These look nice, but I just bought the rizomas and they will be here this week.

I wonder if the really tall ones have problems with rigidity?

Why would it? you need  a lot of force to snap an aluminum bar thats almost 1 inch thick.

Don't confuse strength with rigidity.  Those bolted connections are susceptible to flexing with a long lever arm like that.  You probably can't brake it (unless you go down) but it could still feel "mushy", for lack of a better word.  Then again, it could be fine.  That's why I wondered out loud.

Ahhh. I dont think it would feel mushy then. I have 2.5inch rise on my tommasellis (or something very close to that number) and it feels solid.

I share your thoughts, but compared with the distance from the grip to center clamps on a normal bar, I would think that mushy'ness wouldn't be an issue. Also, clip ons are connected wider (on the fork) and that will create less momentum at the connection point (riser) than if the forces had to travel from the grip, to the center and then out to the forks (as with a normal bar).              Just thinking out loud

Do you have any idea how high yours are compared with stock bars? (I'll slap you with 25% import taxes if you don't )

a good 2 inches lower than stock. This is due to the fact that mine are below triple.

Were there issues with clearance on bikes with coffin style reservoirs? Not so when using clip ons with rise?
