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

response from Jeff at monster parts

Hi Drew,
I think you will need the spacers no matter which riser you get…
The headlight bracket is tight where the clamp is…but I don’t think you'll have any trouble on your bike (the 02+ are a little different)
depending how tall you are…you may want to go with the 2.5 riser instead of the 1.5…the 1.5 puts the bars right at the upper triple, which is pretty low unless you have long arms.
the good part about the SWATT's is you can get just the riser if you want to try a different height later.

That is exactly the pic I have been looking for.  I picked up a set of Cycle Cat clip for the multistroodle on ebay to use after my SBK fork swap and wondered how they would work.  They have a 2.5" rise and are very similar to the Swatt clips.  That is, the bar clamp sits in front of the triple, not to the side like the monster Cycle Cat clips.  Thanks.

If I had a dog, and it took a crap that resembled a clip-on, it would look like the Swatt clips-ons!

No offense to whoever is selling them.

With rise in mind, the Speedymoto & Cycle Cat clip-ons look 11tby times better.

The "no offense" disclaimer is old, isn't it
Besides; I disagree with you on the looks - I think they look great. Have you actually seen them?
I'll admit, it's not a piece of art, but they are well finished and look "functional" more than "blingy".

stopintime,
you have the swatts? did the coffins clear the clip-ons? mine didn't... i did the reversal process too but that didn't work out.
the piss-cups will definitely fit BTW...

That disclaimer was not targeted toward you unless you happen to be selling these also.

Some time ago you were saying that Bill Swatt was telling you these clip-ons will work without the "Coffin Master Spacers" if you swap this and flip that. 
How did that work out for you?

What exactly do you not like about the looks.  They use quality materials and they are clean.  As far as I can tell they LOOK fine so if it is about fitment then say that but I really don't see any reason to bash the looks.  They are a bit plain with none of the frills but for $130-$140 you can't expect to get all the "frills" of a set of $300+ clip-ons.

[DarkStaR]

The price is good, there's no argument there.

From the looks of the pictures, maybe they are bad pictures, but I don't see quality material/construction.

Functional, sure.

The Swatt clip-on with no rise are ok, but the risers on the Swatt = 

And yeah you can't get the CC anymore,
but these Speedymotos look so much better.

Honestly I can't stand the looks of any of the clip-ons with risers.  Have not seen a brand yet that I like with tall risers.  That is why I will probably get some with only the 1.5" rise b/c it does not look quite as bad but will not be as aggressive as standard clip-ons.

I'll agree with you on that.  I don't like clip-ons with risers (over 1-1.5") either.

I'm using Tomasellis clip-ons right now that are the not prettiest, but classic looking IMO.

I'll probably be getting these in the near future.

Good choice.  SpeedyMoto clip ons are hawt...but I may be biased.

What I don't get, is why you would remove the bars, and then put on 3.5" clip on risers that are just as tall as the bar was.

btw,

The stock bar is 19 ounces
The tall swatt clip ons are 37 ounces w/hardware

Some mods are purely aesthetic.

Then why are we taking about these (Swatt) clip-ons. 

Sorry, you opened that one up for me.

Carry-on.

Adjustability. Angle, sweep, height.

The positioning farther forward will help weight the front wheel.

The ability to replace a $30 clip on tube instead of a $70 bar if you drop it. 

Plus the bar riser mounts on the stock triple are a convenient place to mount a tire-pressure monitoring system or GPS.
