50MM clip ons
Im going back and fourth on my RC51 fork setup that Im finishing. I need a set of clip ons for it but not certain if I want clip ons or I want handle bars. I have been looking though the adds and boy aftermarket kits are expensive! I found out that the RC51 fork is 50mm, which means I can use any 50mm clip on. I noticed that the 929 clip ons are raised up which means I may be able to get the desired rise without using a set of bars. I was wondering if anyone has looked into this or knows of other clip ons that I can use. Thanks a bunch! I hope this post wasn't too conveluded... lol

Because the RC forks are the same length as the stock ones you can use just about any 50mm clip-on and mount them on top. You can use TLR, TLS, GSXR,(any usd gsxr), CBR's,(with usd) aftermarket clip-ons would probably work best though because you can replace just the bar if you happen to drop it.
this crap is exspensive!

just a thought
but you could use Vortex clip ons, and mount them in reverse (upside down and backwards, if that makes any sense) like i did
id gives a decent rise and straightens them out
plus Vortex are like $100

its an improvement over OEM, thats for sure
i wish i had compared and did some measurements, but i didnt
how it compares to Heli, I dont know. Ive never had them
if i had to guess id say its about an inch up, maybe 1/2 inch back. they also allow you to mount them fully extended, which makes your arms set out wider, making it of course a bit different in turning them.
i can try to get more pics of them tonight if you want

Funny I was walking in a parking lot and looking over a 954 sitting there and noticed what a large rise the bars have. I'm in the same boat, in the middle of an RC51 front end swap as well. Have a look at them-there must have been a several inch rise from the clamp to the bar-much higher looking than 929 or rc51 clip ons. Going to try and find a pair myself.

Im going to try out the 954 clip ons because of their rise and the fact that they will fit my RC forks. I also found them for 50 bucks for the pair... A little more than I wanted to pay but it should get the job done. More info later. 
Maybe even some pics!
