you can buy used clip ons for around $40.00 if you look .
you will be into your clip ons a whole lot more than you think time,labor,material etc.
If it was this easy then everyone would do it.
Buy some used.
1) I looked. Used clips that have the features and styling that I want are hard to come by and still cost $$ 2) I enjoy workin' in the machine shop. I put new posts on a clutch drum once instead of buying a new clutch drum right off. Worked good I can almost gaurantee you that I'll have one afternoon into building the mounts with the assistance of the shop foreman. 3) Materials: I am at 30 bux for the aluminum stock to make the brackets and tube clamps. Just need to buy tubes. that puts me at 50 or so total. 4) It is this easy. Trouble is that not everyone has a machine shop where they can do the work for free in their spare time. Don't be a buzzkill |

Small update: Got bored yesterday waiting for my aluminum bar to come in, so I rounded up some scrap in the machine shop and built a 50mm cylinder to mount the clamps on so i can cut the circular parts on a rotary table. Today my material came in. HOORAY!  For finishing I'm thinking black powdercoat. Ano would be too expensive and time consuming methinks. Any suggestions? |

Hmmm... black as in every other clip on? hmmm.... Maybe you could use your unique opportunity to make a surface/finish/pattern/personal logo which discretely shouts: I MADE THIS MYSELF Wouldn't that be cheaper too? and more unique? You just have to make it subtle, but noticeable  0.02  |

I have a signature I use for drawings that could probably be easily milled into the piece...  how does a leopard print ano sound for subtle? |

While we are talking clip-ons.
I have this thing called a lathe.
and I've got some 1" solid bar 6AL-4v Ti sitting here.
What wall thickness should I make the clip-on tubes?
The ones I fabbed were .035  but that was with 3AL 2.5v Ti tube stock |

Im 260 lbs, I tried to break em in a vice with a breaker bar, and they held fine. I rode with em on for 2 years before selling the bike. I may have to talk to you about your source, the one I went through last time wants 30 bucks a foot now  |

Haven't got a chance to talk to the head honcho. Only been able to go in later in the day... means #2 guy is there and he doesn't have the final say so I didn't ask. Something tells me that flamable metal in a student shop is gonna get shut down though. Sorry man. |

everything is flammable  No worries, I'm impatient. My mill will be here soon enough. Good to know on the Ti, and yeah, it's close to $30 a foot, but would be easier to get that then machine down 1" stock lol. |
