Something for free, you just need to know what it is..

[Redsps]

I've been sorting through the bike bits chest tonight and have decided to get rid of any surplus 7xx & 9xx series parts.

Up for grabs to start with is this item, nothing to pay.
first correct answer gets it, and the answer has to be spot on.
clues are:


they are a made from billet, weight close to nothing. and are 0-3 dergrees, and are a big improvement over the duke standard item.
sorry pics would make it to easy peeps.

let see who get it's from those clues.

they cost just under £200 last year, and are still same price now.

something decent for nothing, that can't be bad

cheers

[rockhopper]

Vernier cam pullys?

Helibar etc risers?

[TP]

I'm lost on the 0-3 degree's bit but how about a clutch cover?

[Redsps]

[Harv748]

I would have gone for the adjustable timing pulleys?

[nathanhu]

errrr handle bar risers

[rockhopper]

A set off offset woodruf keys. Think they go to 6 degrees though...

[Redsps]

I'm drunk - steering damper? :roll:

[ziggi]

[fatduke11111]

Loz - I'm just saying anything - it's by process of elimination - my next guess will be.......... 'front wheel'?

are you sure thats not nothing for something :D:D

[TP]

Goddamn it my laptop is going to run out of battery before I find out what it is!! My power supply is past the bottle of wine and therefore too far away!

Ummm, brake and clutch levers?

[rockhopper]

Well if you get an offset top yoke i think you'd need an offset bottom one to go with it.

I dont care what it is, its shiny, its free and i want it!! (doesnt matter if it doesnt fit my bike!!)

[TP]

aaarrggghhh .... I thought it as yokes ... has Paul won? Put us out of our misery!

[Redsps]

now were getting somewhere, another couple of close ones to match earlier thoughts.
so close now.
yep they are a pair, and they sure do work better that way.
they are not made locally, in the uk that is.

[rockhopper]

0 to 3 degrees? Is it a special gauge to tell me how far over i can lean my bike?

[rockhopper]

Is it Paul Mort?

[TP]

so it's a top and bottom yoke methinks ... just need the brand name ... damn google isn't winning for me tonight ...

[Harv748]

motowheels clipons, or billet yokes...

[Harv748]

ducati performance clip ons?...jeeeeez I'm desperate!

[Redsps]

several peeps have got most of the answer, but not all of it.

these items are made by a company whose founder was ducati's right hand man in the states in the 80's/90's.
aswell as the proprietor of the principle racing team in the states.

or page 214 paragraph 2, in the ducati officall racing history book.

what is, what are they called, and made by who.

[fatduke11111]

FBF aluminium adjustable handle bar risers

[keefer]

[Redsps]

:sing::sing::bouncy::bouncy::bouncy:

they are billet ally bar raisers by FBF.

sorry keefer not clipons, but close mate.

nice try every one else.
harv got it spot on, so they are all his.

[fatduke11111]

Robin - give 'em to Keefer - we all KNOW what he means...:D

[TP]

Has Keefer done enough to get it yet?

The wine has settled in ....

[Redsps]

If you think about it, I was first, especially as you didn't say that we had to guess the MAKE as well as the product :frog:

[Harv748]

I have no problem at all mate with Keefer taking the prize...or perhaps we could split them!

Actually, what is a little quirky is I cracked one of my standard ones when I was messing about recently...and have just been riding around with one bolt in place!

It was just a bit of fun that became very annoying!

[keefer]

hang on a mo is it bar raisers then cuz if not i have been robed

[fatduke11111]

Robin - Could you do my Tax form for me? With that much precision I'm sure I'd get some dosh back.

It was a good crack anyway well done Harv!

...got any other bits?

Waiter - I still don't have my coat.:D

[Redsps]

What about left hand to harv and right to keefer.

They are ally bar raiser by FBF and not clipons.

To be fair I did ask for clarification on keefers defanition clipons.
If I am wrong please update me, but that is what my receipt from pro-twin calls them, and the catalogue.

There can be only one winner.

cheers
robin

[skidlids]

FBF 3 deg bar risers, now where have I seen them before, Oh yes I have a set on my 916, fitted them for the trip to the TT as I could hardly reach the standard set up with the tank bag on.

If Keefer has them an he donate his standard ones to Harv

[keefer]

no fair play i said clip-on well done boys.
bar raisers are somthing you put on to make your bike look like a street bike

[Redsps]

Great idea skidlids, wow.... two winners then.
hows that sound keefer and harv748

keefer, if OK with harv748 and vice versus,you get the FBF and he gets your standards.

[keefer]

give em to harv mate he needs them more than me.

:bouncy::bouncy::bouncy::bouncy:

[Redsps]

Good stuff mate, I did not really expect to generate so much response to this posting.
After all, they have sat in my garage for a year, so had to go somewhere.

some more bits to come, so watch this space.

cheers
Red...

[fatduke11111]

Robin - 'twas a good laff....:D..and educational...

[Edited on 9-8-2004 by fatduke11111]

[skidlids]

Keefer I actually prefer the standard ones but i'm to lazy to change them back. The wider bars fitted to mine are a better mod.

[Redsps]

Skidlid, how tall are you mate.
I'm 6.3 and they did make quite a big improvment on my SPS.
Also work well in conjunction with different rearsets.
I think rider height is an important factor with both these items.

cheers
red..

[skidlids]

A fair bit shorter than you Red and also a fair bit shorter than Keefer. obviously I have shorter arma which is why I need the 3deg change to help me reach around the tank bag.

I run Harris rearsets on my bike.
