2.5" & 3.5" clip-on risers, Speedymoto or Swatts?

[ungeheuer]

So I guess Swatts 3.5'' clipons it is! Any recomendations for a top triple that will fit with those without any problems?

This will work on your 696 with Swatts >> http://www.speedymoto.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=03-0205CLR&Category_Code=MTC

OK - cable routing question for those with the Swatt's.  Did you route all of your cables in front of the clip-on, or did you route any of them between the clip-on and the fork tubes?

There seems to be a few issues with routing them in front - they interfere with the headlight, look a little dodgy, and I suspect there will be some friction on the cables while riding.  I did get the bike all together like this, but I'm not convinced.

Here's mine....  all run forward of the clipons, dont seem to interfere with the headlight....


....and I dont think they look sooo dodgy!?!  But if theres a better way I'm always up for improvement

You're right - no dodginess in sight on yours!  Mine look funny as they are jammed up on a weird angle.

It looks like by lowering your headlight you've been able to avoid both problems.  It also looks like you're bars are a little higher than mine, which also helps with that angle.

I've got the fork clamp sections pushed right up as high as I can, but there's a small routing bracket on both sides for the brake/clutch lines which keeps me a centimeter lower or so.  I'm guessing you don't have those brackets on your new triple?

And the top pic is when I had 2.5" Swatts fitted, its even less of an issue now that I'm running the 3.5"ers.  

So you're running the stock triple then, yeah?  The stock top triple sits down the fork legs by....I'm guessing.....  15mm lower than the Speedymoto item that I'm running, so even if you have your bar-clamps up as high as they can go right up under the triple, they're still lower than mine. And you're right, helping me is the fact that my headlight is around 5mm lower than stock, so even if you disregard that "small routing bracket" (do you mean the wire one? why not remove it and arrange your own routing?) you've got effectively 20mm less room twixt bar height and headlight.

I know the fix for that  

Also, dont forget that my headlight sits 5mm further out from the forks than stock (see page 3 this thread) which helps me gain more breathing space to tuck stuff away perhaps....

Ah yes, the other recurring theme for me this winter - if I buy a few more parts, everything will go together so much better!

I don't think I can avoid moving something, as the tension on my headlight is way too high.  I'm going to be hammering down some highway 200 kms from home when the whole front of my bike is going to explode in my face.

So, a new triple moves the swatts up, and then some fabbed brackets ala ungeheuer moves the headlight down and forward.  Sounds like a plan...
