riser clipons, what height needed? - what's recommended?
riser clipons, what height needed? - what's recommended?
Now I have the KTM adventure beast for everyday use, I am thinking that perhaps the Firestorm can go more towards sporty riding / trackdays. so contemplating taking the flat bars off and putting clipons back on.
with teh RSV4 forks and yokes, I will need to get clipons that go under the top yoke, so will need a riser section so they fit inside the fairing.
2 questions:
1) for those who have different forks that need the clipon fitted under the yoke, what rize did you need? and do you have a flat top yoke or a gulwing?
2) what options are there for riser clip ons, and what is the best?
I have seen various types, what have you got?
APEX
Woodcraft
Gilles Vario
ABM

On the Ex Jones Storm with the EX Mons front end on it...I have Woodcraft ones fitted...Without looking I don't know if they are up or under the yoke...
Sure Tony will fill in the details...

thanks Mac,
the Jonsey bike looks to have woodcraft bars. what height riser?
dont recognize the other ones on 633, but same question, what height rise?

I will give them a measure for you when I pull my measuring stick out, which will only be when I pull my finger out from somewhere else.
Prob be tomorrow...

Re: riser clipons, what height needed? - what's recommended?
From memory the Woodcrafts were 2" or 2 1/2" rise.
Well made piece of kit, recommended.
They bolt onto the fork below the top yoke, and I set them slightly above the top yoke, but they're adjustable, maybe Jonesy or Mac moved them to fit their ergonomic preferences.
One of the reasons I fitted them was that I used a Blade gull-wing top yoke, and the rise helped to put the clipon back in roughly the right place.
Blade USD forks are shorter than firestorm ones, and although I like weight on the front end it leaves your hands quite low for road use.
Probably fine for track, though.

It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

thans tony, so if you had a gullwing yoke, that could be taken off my calculation for what I need to use. can you remember how much offset the top yoke had?tony.mon wrote: ↑Mon Jan 25, 2021 3:31 pm From memory the Woodcrafts were 2" or 2 1/2" rise.

The 954 forks with gullwing top yoke I used SV parts bars with 3.5” rise.

Not heard of Sv parts Kev. Are you happy with the quality? Also what do you estimate the gullwing offset to be?

I have these aggro looking ones with 96 blade forks. Medium height and fits perfectly. Cannot manage to show the picture ...

Thanks Mac, yep they’re the bars. They’ve gone up in price since I got mine. But that was in 2011 (bloody hell where does the time go!!!)

So I pulled my measuring stick out, after I pulled my finger out & pulled 4 bikes out to get to said stick...
CJ Storm has Woodcraft bars with a gull wing yoke. Top of Yoke to tip of bar is 2".
These are USD forks BTW.
The width on these bar end to bar end is 29"

On the other wrist...
Red 633 has TBR bars but on 916 forks n yokes...
There is a rise of about an inch with these...
The width on these bar end to bar end is 26" but they are set funny the angles are all wrong & need adjusting for me.
