Jeff,

I did 3 things to make the bars more comfortable for me.

1- I slid the clipon brackets around the fork tubes as high as they can go so they sit flush with the bottom of the top portion of the triple clamp.

2- I slid the clipon tubes out as far as they can go so the are they widest possible. In doing that, the controls angle back towards you more.

3- When I slid the brackets up on the forks, I also rotated the clipon bracket back so they hit the triple clamp on the outside portion. You have a few degrees of adjustment... I adjusted them max toward the rear as I could.

After doing these 3 things, the clipons were acceptable for street riding to me.

I have since readjusted the tubes in a bit so they are not as wide. Right now, I have them adjusted so it is the best fit for me.



My advice is to play with the clipon positions once you have them installed and ride the bike, then go back and make the corrections you need to make them workable. Small adjustments make a big difference in how the clipons make the bike feel... you'll be surprised.

GL...
