Looks like Woodcraft is coming out with a model specific clipon for the 696/1100. These look like they mount to the top of the stock triple. Might be a good option for someone who wants to swap back and forth from bars to clipons. Not the best looking, but no doubt very functional. Pricepoint around $200. Thanks to Jeff from Monsterparts for the info.   |

That is a cute solution.... Seems like a cliponesque variation on the clubman type bars theme.
Guess if it blocks access to M1100 fork adjusters - you just have to remove 4 bolts to get these bars off and make your adjustment... not ideal, but not completely onerous either.

How often do you really adjust your suspension though. Really. I'm a whore for Woodcraft. Good stuff from a good company |

I can't reach the top adjustment in my ohlins forks without removing the bars anyway, so I do t see how this is much different than stock. |

Isn't the whole concept with clipons that they... clip on the fork legs?  |

And changes the riding position. Another plus is that replacing a bent clipon bar is much cheaper than a new set of handlebars. |

Nothing new and they could have done better IMHO. I had a set of crossroads on a 2006 Buell XB12Ss that bolted directly to the top triple and left the adjuster exposed.  |
