How tall are the fork clamps on the woodcraft clipons? I am thinking about using them above the tripple on my SBK fork conversion, want to try to get an idea if they will fit
1 5/8" |

I could use the help of Anyone with clipon experience. I am attempting to mock up the install on my bike just to get a feel for where I am heading with these new cipons. However I am finding it IMPOSSIBLE to tighten the risers enough to hold the bars. Using a 1/2" wrench for leverage I can not get the riser to pinch of handlebar. I am afraid to give it to much torque for fear of ripping the head off the bolt. I probably put 150lbs of pressure on the bolt and still not tight enough to hold the handlebar in place. It spins freely in the riser.

So lemme see if I got this correct here..... Its not that you cannot clamp the Woodcraft risers to the bike's fork legs.... You're saying that you're unable to tighten the Woodcraft supplied handlebar tube to the Woodcraft riser section? Right?? Dunno, maybe they sent you the wrong tube?? Contact your supplier.

Correct. Using the handlebars they supplied with the risers and clip-ons It seems impossible to get the clamp tight enough. Will have to contact them tomorrow. Love it when things go smoothly |

do the tubes fit your controls?
if so they might have sent the wrong mounts. measure the inner diameter, bet they are for 1" bars not the 7/8" bars you have if the controls fit.

I contacted them yesterday. The guy I spoke with said that this sometimes happens. He shipped me out a new set of risers which will be here tomorrow. I'm hoping to get everything installed this Thursday. Raux: Great minds think alike. This is the first thing I checked. |

sounds like a quality control problem in the packaging department |

Just an update on the install progress.
Speedymoto top triple is installed and the clipons as well.
Have everything mocked up so I could get an idea how it will look.
Now I just need to measure and drill the three holes on the handlebars for the controls (no idea how I'm going to do this) and fully reassemble the bike.
Last but not least make adjustments to the sweep of the bars and set the stop screws. From the mock-up I did it appears that I will need to adjust the stop screw out ~2 turns. Not because of the controls but because the clipon contacts the frame at full lock.
Any advice for drilling the holes, I don't have a drill press. I'll be doing it by hand.
Pics to follow tomorrow after work. (1/2 day!!)

i took off the nubs from the controls. gives me more flexibility on the install for control mounting. ie the angle of the levers
how far are you sweeping back on the bars?

What did you do to prevent the controls from spinning around the bars?? I'll have pics up tomorrow to show the final product. I'm really excited to share some details about the install and answer some of the questions about doing this install with the woodcraft bars. |
