Yes, I'm very interested in finding out more about these clip-ons (nice price point!)  Please do post pics and/or start another thread.  The thread pissing is cluttering this one up...

Ok - I couldn't wait - bedtime here.....

I still don't know the height, but I'm guessing NOT 3.5"

Those look like 2.5" to me.  The 3.5" should be similar to the "tall" Sport Classic clip-ons I have, which are noticeably higher.

If you can adjust the angle and if the tubes come in black I might give them a try. I need a new set of bars.

I received an e-mail back from Swatt. The angle is not adjustable. They come w/ a 5 degree angle which they say is the most common to use. If you order black, the bars ar black also. I think Im going to try a set. I`m probably going to get the 1.5" rise. I`m going to measure my bike when I get a chance to see if that is a good height. I`ll post some pics when I get em.

They are on my bike now, with a "little" help from my dealer ($$$ bang head laughingdp)

I will post pictures and compare measurements when I get the time to visit my bike (maybe this weekend).
The 3.5" rise model is what I got.

At the moment all I know is that the riser part itself had to be swapped right/left and 180 degrees rotated to allow clearance for the coffin style reservoirs. Doing this also requires longer bolts - one side of the riser part is countersunk, the other is not. I think 30mm instead of 25mm.

The CycleCat or MonsterParts spacers were also required to make room for the reservoirs. Hoses and wires had to be rerouted around the new SpeedyMoto top triple.

My Rizoma bar ends need other bits to fit inside the clip on bars, different inner diameter.

If you want some adjustibility with 3.5" rise, Speedymoto just came out with their version of the cycle cat bars....for a whopping $280

These look like the ones I saw at the motorcycle show last week.  I forgot to get the brand before I left but I think these may have been it.  I will be getting a set of the 1.5" set very very soon.  (probably in a week or less)

The manufacturer, Bill Swatt, told me he was going to a show. It might very well have been these you saw.

To you and others: it's on coffin style reservoirs you need the spacers and the reversal/side swapping procedure. Might not need the spacers for plastic cup reservoirs - I really don't know. Another warning is that some people have encountered (headlight?) clearance issues with other brands of lower/no rise clip ons.

I suggest getting them from MonsterParts.com - he knows about the clearance issues and will supply the spacers and different bolts if needed.
