M-Factory clip ons?

Anyone run these? CNC Clip On Riser 25mm Handle bar Honda VTR1000 RC51 SP1 SP2 01-06 02 03 04 05 | eBay

I like the way the angles on them are adjustable. That seems to be my biggest issue as the stress goes on the inside of my wrist where if I could adjust the angle up a little I'd e hitting them more squarely and I don't think there would be nearly the stress on my wrist.

Too big for our forks.

When you search on Ebay for stuff, best to add "-rc51 -rvt -sp1 -sp2" to avoid including stuff not meant for our bikes. We have 41mm fork tubes by the way, and I was not able to find a similar adjustable clip-on by that seller that would fit our bikes.

I thought 50mm sounded huge for our forks. That's a bummer as I really like the looks of these. Thanks guys!

You can do a fork swap. It's a popular upgrade. Then you can run those clip-ons.

Yeah that'd be a pretty expensive clip on swap! LOL! Is that fork swap that huge of a difference for a sport rider that never sees the track?

Stock forks are meant for a 45 Kg or 100 pound rider as is from factory... I doubt you fit in that category? So either put decent springs in them, or swap to a new set made for normal people...

That is, unless they have been adressed already by PO's

Yeah hard saying what's in them now. I seem to recall seeing someone talking about putting valving out of other bikes in the factory forks. What all is interchangable to improve the front forks on these things?
