hmm not sure about the ponds on it...... little pools of water there if it rains!!
But a good idea ...

When I saw the website address the first thing I thought of was Ray Mears going into the forest and coming back several months later, having constructed a set of clip-ons from pine cones and that funny sticky stuff that grows underneath logs. Presumably he wouldn't have a normal-sized bike to test them on so they would only fit the squirrel-motorcycles though... :scratch:

On a slightly more normal note, I think I like them :thumbsup: Cheaper than the Rizoma version for the old Monsters too although I guess you can't adjust the angle at all

You might be lucky and have rizoma for similar price:

Sorry, but I think those look spectacularly stupid.

If you want clip ons, fit clip ons, if it's a halfway house then consider Ace bars/Jota bars/ Suburban machinery bars or something similar, much simpler and more elegant than this.

This ones right up there with those fake kickstart levers that fit onto modern harleys.

I agree with Dave. Renthal bars would make more sense and cost a lot less

Another option would be something like jota bars, which give a clip on style via the standard yoke and clamp arrangement. The other benefit is that they are adjustable unlike the ones pictured.

I posted them because they looked weird :chuckle:

Was tempted by these http://www.woodcraft-cfm.com/cgi-bin/commerce.cgi?preadd=action&key=12-45 but after my last clip on adventure I decided against it!

Looks kind of weird though

I Like the look of those.... top yolk and bottom handlebar clamp need to be black too, otherwise it looks like an add on......

might surf the US sites for some reviews.... agree with Hellcat... although an ashtray on a motorbike isnt a complete no no!:twak:
