+ ZERO issues position wise. Leaves bar adjustability, without using fork tubes to mount.
+They are lower than traditional clip-ons, and stockers ( about a 1/4inch, maybe a hair more, compared to the prior clip-on set I had.)
Very satisified, for the price, and ease of install, and benefits.
+The bars are slightly flatter on the downward angle, so bars don't touch bodywork fully swept in, full lock to lock.
+ Come with a second set of risers, if you need taller bars.
+ No raising the fork, to figure out how much bite do I need to have, for clip-ons to feel secure/remain in place? (Without causing bottom out, on hard stops)
- the very minor downside. Left bar is just ever so slightly smaller than stock. So switchgear, and clutch lever perch, were a hair loose, fully buttoned up, and in place. ( my fix was 1 to 2 wraps of black electrical tape around the bar.)
Not sure of the name. It could be FULLIBARS, with a new style, on Amzon. If not, I can post sellers name here ( if allowed) they come in chrome, and in black.
