Sportisi USA clipons - Installed

mike_sema · September 23rd, 2009, 04:11 PM

Well I got the clip-on's from matt 2 days ago and all I have to say is WOW THEY ARE GREAT. these are very light with them both in one hand and one of the stock handles bars in the other the stock one is heavier then both of the clip-on's the look and finish is great not a single complaint from me at all even the mounting hardware is nice, the install was easy as with all clip-on's it took me about 1hr to finish it by myself. I went on a nice ride with them and found that this is what I was missing the handling feels much sharper and crisp all in all for $110 bucks you cant beat it

thanks Matt

Looks good. Nice grips. Looks comfy

zev42 · September 23rd, 2009, 04:39 PM

Wow I wish I knew about these 3 weeks ago! I dropped about $170 for my Woodcrafts, and they do the same thing.

Do you ride through twisties? If so, how does it handle?

mike_sema · September 23rd, 2009, 05:08 PM

I told myself that I was just going around the block and ended up going to Mt lemon instead and with the new clip-on's it was amazing. if you do not know how the roads are do a Google search and you will see it is a haven for the aggressive rider in the turns. I wish I had these for a ride I did last month up Hwy 191 witch is killer and down the salt river canyon.

$110 is the GB price. Normally these will be $115

Look good to hmm damn now I need to order a new set.

NorCal_250R · September 23rd, 2009, 11:33 PM

Those actually look better than the woodcraft setup...great price too...

gamma500 · September 24th, 2009, 12:01 AM

Can we get a set of these now or place an order?

ztrack157 · September 24th, 2009, 12:14 AM

pm me

Jam3s · September 24th, 2009, 05:02 AM

do your hands rub anywhere when turning the bars from lock to lock?

rockNroll · September 24th, 2009, 05:31 AM

Do you know how far you had to raise the forks in order to fit these, or how much total fork leg is above the triple now? (I have a calculator

)

ARF07 · September 24th, 2009, 07:16 AM

How long did it take you to install these? and is it any different than the woodcraft install?

Matt you're killin me man. Just when I tell myself I won't buy any more toys, I see these..I've gotta save for a couple weeks, but I want some!!

ztrack157 · September 24th, 2009, 07:38 AM

ztrack157 · September 24th, 2009, 07:39 AM

difference between this and woodcraft is you adjust your forks.

Rayme · September 24th, 2009, 12:01 PM

So you en up dropping the bike about 10 mm ? that's not too bad....gaining a little bike of agressive angle there

paterick4o8 · September 24th, 2009, 01:11 PM

Jam3s · September 24th, 2009, 03:50 PM

snowsoldier · May 4th, 2011, 12:58 PM

just pm'd ztrack about these, hoping im not too late

can I install the gold pre-load adjusters with these clip-ons??

Stoked to get this set-up!

looks amazing!

cheers,

snowsoldier · May 4th, 2011, 01:06 PM

also, do these clip-ons drop the height of the bars???
I notice that the woodcraft clip-ons go underneath the fork bracket/clamp,

I'm a newb when it comes to clip-ons, this will be a first! all help/info is much appreciated.

thanks everyone!

leed · May 5th, 2011, 07:33 AM

You should be able to use the fork preload adjusters in combination with these without any issue. These clipons will drop the height of the bars, as well as lengthen the reach to the bars a tidbit.

The Woodcraft clipons will drop the height a little bit more and so by geometry the reach will be a little bit further too. Bear in mind that the Woodcraft clipons are actually rising clipons, which is why they are only a little bit lower, even though they mount below the upper triple tree.
