Going through the boxes of goodies I got from the guy who sold me my Monster I found a set of Woodcraft Clip-ons!! I mounted them and realized I'm gonna need to buy the 3" risers as these are just too low for me. These are the regular silver color but I'm thinking of buying black replacement bars. But from what it looks like there's hardly any bar showing. Is this true? When you mount your woodcraft clip-ons do you even see the bars for more than a couple inches?

Also  should I buy the regular length bars or longer ones they sell? My grips are Rizoma Sportline and my Monster is a 2005 620 with the OEM square (coffin?) reservoirs and Brembo levers.

Woodcraft shows the long bars on a Monster with coffin reservoirs.
Coffins on clip ons usually require spacers to create clearance between risers and coffins.
I guess that's why they show (recommend?) long bars...

MonsterParts used to have the spacers - call Jeff to see what the situation is.
Spacers will allow you to use normal length bars.

I called Woodcraft and it sounds like the Riser Kit they sell as an accessory for $80 wont work with the standard 50m clamps I got. I have to buy the whole Riser/Bar kit for $180. That sucks but its still cheaper then the Speedymoto Clip-ons.

Does my bum look big on this?

They work fine with the standard length bars, but you'll definitely need something to space your coffins out a bit to clear the clamp.

Why not just bung the ones you've got above the triple?

I'd be willing to put them above the triple but not sure how I'd go about doing that.

Agreed.  I raised my forks a good half inch, and the bike falls into turns now.  A little disconcerting at first, but once you get used to it, the change will improve your around town riding.

The spacers from Monster parts are well worth the price.  Well made and clean finish.
