I'm at work and after thinking about my ride yesterday and the commute this morning I've decided that I'm getting clip-ons again.

I have an '05 m620 with stock forks. I need 50mm clip-ons right?

Thanks.

Yes.

-50mm is diameter at top of fork tube

-53mm is diameter of SBK forks (if you ever do that upgrade)

Thank you.

They have been ordered.

$150 including shipping. Decent deal for new parts.

Cheers

Cool. Here's the general rule o' thumb for Ducati's:

Monster - 50mm top, 54mm bottom

SBK Showa - 53mm top, 53mm bottom

SBK Ohlins - 53mm top, 56mm bottom

Or..... Drop the triple's down 1.5 inch and then mount on top.  Did this to mine and the front holds firm in the turns.

My front is already dropped about 1.25". I got the Vortex clip-ons. I had their old model on my m750 and liked them. Their new model has substantially slimmer mounts so mounting will be a piece of cake.

Lowering monsters like this really does make them tip into corners pretty quickly.

I've got a picture of your old clip-ons tipping quickly into a corner somewhere...  [evil]

I find it disturbing that you're imagining me in a sauna, never mind the teletubbie aspect of it
