Bar positions

[Guest]

I was just looking at my bike but before I take it apart I want to know if I can simply unbolt my clip on bars that are stock and turn them upside down?

More of a cafe look like Qckslvr has

I guess I'll go knock it out.

BL huh, ever go to the BL bike shop? I know a person with the last name of Morris who used to come in so I'm wondering.

Nope, can't say I visited the BL bike shop. My first name is Don
As for you bars, I made the mistake of thinking you had standard 7/8", one piece bars. Then I looked at your sig and see that your bike is a 85 GS700 which I believe has left/right side bars like the ones on my 85 GS1150. I have also looked at flipping my bars but the mount bolt will not be where you need it and the bars (at least on mine will) not sit flat.

Clubmans can be mounted but will require holes be drilled into the top triple clamp for mounting hardware.

Best, Don

Yeah they do, I pulled one bolt off before dinner... is it not going to work before I go any further?

Anyone know what size clip on's to get. I searched but came up empty as most that have been posted are refering to traditional bars.

Better yet I THINK they're 37mm, if they are where can I buy just the clips?

Bummer. The 2007 Honda CBR600's fork tube diameter is 41 mm.

I just need the clips. This is a PITA, since I can reuse the bars themselves. Its not worth spending $40 on otherwise.

Are there any universities or colleges nearby? If they have a CNC machine, they can cut one for you, as long as you provide the drawings in CAD. You can't beat free!!! It's free where I'm at... Not sure about CA.

How about you have them made for me and I'll send my gf by your house?

I'm an inexperienced noob with CAD drawings but I'll try! No guarantees though.
