Anybody have experience with the regular woodcrafts mounted on top of the triple tree?
@Jono are yours the regular clip ons or clip on risers?

The regular WC clip-ons. Mounted just below the top triple. It's possible to mount them above but that means you have to lower the front forks a bit.

Since we're talking about clipons, I recently turned my bike into a street fighter and bought some clipons but mannnn theyre low.

Im 5'11 and even though I dont feeling like Im leaning THAT low, but my back starts to kill me after maybe 45 minutes of riding. And if Im stuck in traffic, I have to hold my self up with the handlebars which is putting a ton of pressure on my wrists.

Check out the second to last picture:

I guess I could pull the triple tree and clipons up a bit but Im not sure how much that will help. Anyone have and suggestions to make this a more comfortable ride?

Lower the front end on the triples until you have just enough fork tube above the triple to mount the clip-ons above the triple.

Or slide the clipons as high as they'll go while keeping them under the top triple.

Don't move the triple. It's meant to be stationary exactly where it is. There's a stem bolt holding it where it is.

your clip ons aren't all the way up flush with the triple tree clamp. That should help. At stops put the bike in neutral (when safe) and sit up and let your back rest.

I generally do, but I live and work in and around DC so my "stops" or like, 5 seconds here and there as traffic crawls. Im going to play around with it over the winter.
