Anyone installed SWATT clipons on stock forks?
I've found through search that some members use those clipons but it's always with converted front end. I am interested if anyone uses them on stock setup, and what was involved with this mod?
From reading available information I figure 1 1/2" rise should be "bolt-on", would work with all original lines, and maybe even get away without touching fairing/windshield? Or am I asking for too much?
THis assuming that 1 1/5" rise means 1 1/5" higher than stock clipons, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Any info on rise measurement, installation and comfort would be much appreciated.
TIA

 

They measure rise from the top of the clip-on's clamp to the top of the bar

 

Thanks for clarification intherocker, that changes everything because 1 1/2" rise actually means only ~3/4" higher than stock. Probably not much of a difference.
So, anyone with 2 1/2" rise swatts on stock forks? Did you need new, extended lines, trim the fairing?

 

3/4" over stock is actually a very big difference. I think that's more rise than my Helibars had over the stockers... and they would touch the fairing at full lock.

 

Thanks inderocker. So, you think 3/4" makes a big difference? And, when you say "touch", was that with stock lines and without trimming the fairing?
BTW, from your other thread today I see you and your VTR are into touring... which is exactly why I am considering a bit more "relaxed" clips for mine. Did two ~400km days last weekend (two-up) and felt like higher handlebars would definitely help my wrists.

 

I'm not sure if the stock brake line will have enough length, but everything else should. I've never trimmed the fairings for clearance.
I just finished up a 4,500 mile (7,250km) trip with the Heli bars.. back arms and wrist's were never sore.
