    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I am looking at getting a set of clip ons for my 1981 GS 650 E, and I was just wondering if any one has any experience with this. Is it better to put them below the triple or to move the forks up and put them above the triple? Also how does it feel riding compared to the stock bars? Thanks for you help.

Best positioning is going to vary by person. Try as many different set-up as you can, and go with what feels best! :D

Agreed. Mine are below the triple a bit. I basically have a board with a bit of foam padding for a seat so it's much lower than the stocker to begin with. Once I get my rearsets fitted, they'll probably go down a bit further.
 
hey im going through this same dilema. i have a set on their way to me and am trying to decide on top or bottom. althow my bike has a set of clipons from a katana on them on top. just sit on your bike and hold your arms out where they feel right to you
 
trial and error. it is very time consuming getting them where you like them and where they work .

comprimises and fabrication ..... comfort and clearance ...


I like to say modified bikes modified problems.
 
Riding?

Go out and sit on your bike, bend over and grab the fork tubes and sit there for an hour.

You'll know why rearsets and clip ons go together
