Clip ons and fork Stanchions!
 

I want to give these a go at Brands next week, I may be able to get my hands on a set from a 996 so I've just been out doing a bit of measuring.

It looks to me like the Monnie forks are 50mm at the top (2003 model 620 Monster) and the 996 ones are 52mm (2000 model 996 - showa forks). Is this right?

So, lets assume that the measurements are accurate for the time being - I'd assume that I could just use a bit of thin rubber, or something similar, to allow me to fit the 52mm clip ons to 50mm forks anyway?

What do you reckon?

Rubber no, but a sheet of 1mm alloy will do the job nicely. As weeksy says it's best to get the right size in the first place, but I have seen others sleeving them out.

I picked up my 50mm clip-ons for £25+p&p so there's definitely some cheapies out there.

Cheers,

Ali

Well where from then!

:D

Where do you think??? Fleabay, the bargain hunters paradise. :D

Might want to try the states if you can't find any over here:

:lol:

Why of course, I'd already looked there and found the 996 ones ;)

But I'm not going to bid for them.

I bought mine from Moto2.

They're not cheap, but you can buy replacement bars at 14 quid delivered to your door which is the most important thing, and the clamps are guaranteed for life too.

You want the "standard clip-ons"

The BMF auto-jumble may prove a goo source of 50mm Clip-ons

I was just thinking that. Might have a look around while I'm not yabbering on at the stand!

A R Racing Products also do some for £35.

Scooter916 phoned the other evening and said he picked some ZXR400 ones real cheap

Most of the cheap ones will be single piece and once they're bent it's throw them away and start again. This means you'll need to buy at least two, one set being spares, and could end up paying more in the long run.

Only if you bend about 8 of them :o

That's why Louigi fitted the flash ones to my bike :lol:

spareshack.com
£80 50m clipons .

You don't need to drop the forks to fit the unhinged ones, just take off the top yoke - piece of pizz!!!

Be nice Timothy or we'll have another thread going missing!

:P:P:P:P:P

Well the Harris hinged ones are MUCH more expensive than others - £140!

I can get well made (looking ;) ) ones for £35 and you can replace just the bar for £10 if she gets hooked on someones front wheel or something :D

Can't see me finding them much cheaper but I can't justify the Harris hinged ones when they are so damned expensive!

I got some RoadRacing ones for sale. I didn't like them so went back to standard bars. Adjustable rake and reach etc etc.

Pics? Price?

If you bin it can you just replace the bar or is it a new clip on?

Planing on crashing Tony? :o

You can replace the bar TP but I don't know how much they are and to be honest any bar would probably do. The casings are very nice though. - I paid £50, they are £140 new apparently.
Theres a link to the pictures in ukmoc for sale section TP or look here http://www.ferracci.com/2002ferracci...s/clipons.html

I'm not planning on crashing - but I wasn't in the first race at Cadwell either!

I'll check them out Lin but to be honest I can get a set that will do the job plus some spare bars for £50.

I'm off to the BMF show at stupid o'clock in the morning so I won't be back on the board until Monday - ciao!

Race products do some budget ones in various sizes but, (shock horror) I dont have a link for them - Maybe via Dennis Trollope or someone.

WHY...does someone not use mountain bike technology and make a clip-on that that uses a clamp cut in half in some way, so that it can be bolted together on the fork leg - without even taking the top yolk off ???

...and they're £39.99


They do... Harris I believe do hinged ones, but they're £140+

:D

No worries - hope you get what you're looking for :)

What's the world coming to eh???

I know I'm a controversial so and so - best look up my VD login !!!!! ;)
