Clubman handlebar question

[so_rat]

I bought some "clubman" bars from ebay, and they don't fit in typical clubman fashion. the fork tubes stick up through the top crown and have "air" valves on each one. is there a way to elimnate these or something so these bars will fit? should i just buy a new front set up? i will try and post pics soon for better info, i'm just trying to prevent having to mount them upside down...

thanks,

adam

Could you maybe loosen the fork tubes and rotate the air valves to another position that's not in the way? Maybe move them down slightly?

Can you drop the fork tubes down a bit? That'll only work if they're already raised somewhat, but it's worth mentioning.

"Barring" that, you could get risers for your handlebar clamp for more clearance (http://store.azmusa.com/genrisoncat.html), or go with Progressive fork springs and find some fork caps without air valves (or modify yours).
