Blimey Charlie, what a difference! (clip-ons swapped over)

[andre]

Hello Munich, i seen these pictures, and it looks like the brake and clutch lever are tilted very far downward. and thought it might have to be, to clear the fairing on full lock.

I have done the right-left swap mod during this winter.
Left side no conflict, but slightly touching one of the screen bolts on the right side. A nut on the bolt with a lower profile will fix that. The levers are in the same position as before. An easy job, but had to make me a set of shims.
All in all looking good. No testing yet because of bad weather conditions, but I hope this will make my fingers less numb on long trips.

Hi. Can you tell me more about the shims please, what size and where

i think he means the 20mm ish tube under the 6mm bolt that locates the clip on

Yes, thats right!
It's actually 15 mm in diameter and 16 mm long with a 6 mm hole.

And for all of us putting on bluespots to get better brakes they made the R1??

[andre]

I tried the bar swap, dont like it. now back to head down. they angle back to far, and does'nt feel right. But pushing them forward then produces interference with the fairing. It felt like sitting on me mates Fazer before he put the renthals on, and that was enough to put me off.

[slow codger]

I have the spacers under the bars, but bars in normal position, and yes it does make a difference, no problems with clearance on the fairing either.

Lower my yokes tonight, another 10mm or so is not uncommon is it?

I've got 25mm showing above the clip-on (now back to standard again) if that helps?

[schmiffee]

"Back to standard"?? What happened?? I thought you loved it with the swap? Personal preference or was it playing up somehow??
