X-Race clip ons

snowsoldier · July 29th, 2011, 01:49 PM

Hey everybody,

I just installed the x-race clip ons, and seem to have come across and have a question.

I took the stock bars off, and on went the x-race clip ons

but it seems they only bolt on to a little bit of the fork (maybe an inch) it doesnt come flush to the top with the clip ons...

should the front end be lowered a bit to raise the forks to come flush? it doesnt seem safe to me at all, the way it is right now....

also the clip ons arent completely flush where they sit on the triple clamp. not sure if I can fix this, or its just the way they are manufactured.

I need help!!!

here are some pics,

Thanks everyone,

Drop the forks to give you more clamping area. it should also reduce or eliminate the gap

The bike in the vid has lowered the front end. If you like the stock ride height and the way the bike handles as is. Put them under.
If i could find where my daughter has put the digital camera I would take a pic of mine mounted under.

is their a DIY for dropping the forks?

I would rather keep them on the top, yeah.

But I do appreciated your input very much.

I would love the see a pic of that though...

You should know, are they designed for under the tree or over??

Just went down to the garage. Mine are MADE to go under. (woodcraft)
They dont look like yours at all.
Please disregard my advice as it is incorrect.
Sorry.
Ztrack knows he sells them if im not mistaken.

Heres the woodcrafts mounted under

Yeah thats what I though,

No worries at all, I do appreciate your info!

I guess I'll have to drop the front end a bit to bring up the forks??

is that how it works???

snowsoldier · July 29th, 2011, 02:29 PM

how would I go about dropping the forks?

Last question today, I promise...

Im going to take a stab at it and say I loosen the bolt on the top triple tree, and the allen bolt on the bottom triple tree and adjust to my likings?
