UPDATE AGAIN: QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH ETC HAS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE MY FRONT END IS FROM A GSXR1000 01-04… Feel free to chime in if you think ive missed something…
UPDATE: Stanchions are 49mm wide- Clip ons are 48mm tall-
and the lock pin/bolt is located here if you can work it out…
I’m absolutely loving the SV, altho it has a few flaws that I need to rectify before moving onto suspension…
The clip ons don’t seem to have much clearance with the top of the fairings, so when Im at full lock (U turns etc) I have to ensure I only have half of my hands on the bars or my fingers get squashed… :pinch:
Its not very comfy…
I dont want to feel like Im riding a drag bike all the time so opening the bars up isnt an option.
I dont really want to drop the frame either.
So I want a pair of clip ons that have more of a rise than these ones… (Approx 1.5" from the base of the clamp to the top of the bar)…
Does anyone know which ones have this rise?
Unfortunately I have no means of measuring the actual measurements (YET) so I cant say the exact size (Width) of the fork stanchions & im still waiting for the shop to tell me the exact model the forks are off…
I wonder if it’s possible to loosen the bars and rotate them upwards or around a bit. I dont think mine are that low.
If you do get risers I think 1.5" is the max you’ll be able to raise before the brake and throttle lines begin to stretch.
I bought a corbin seat from eBay. It’s was noticeably lower than the stock seat.
By lowering the seat hight the bars naturally rise to get rid of a bit of the drag bike feel.
I dont mind if I need to change the lines as I want to get braided. I just need to sort these out…
Also, if I have a lower seat It would be horrid to ride. If anything I need a bigger seat…
They’re meant to be under, they bolt in underneath too - that’d be what I’d check, see if anyone has done what I did and take the securing bolt out and angle them in a bit (too far in this case)
I didn’t think about that, I just assumed it was a pin type that slots in…
Il pop down to the garage in a sec and check, altho im sure its a case of the wrong clip ons.
This would, however all the others show the yokes on top, so im also guessing they wanted a sportier ride.
Not a FRESH MOT, but it was sold with an MOT…
i done a few checks myself and found it would have failed should they have checked it…
However, I wont grumble as I mentioned my faults and they offered me a full refund.
I requested the parts I needed so I can do it myself, to which they have agreed to post them… (Altho im still waiting for them and the retunr phonecall I was ment to get today did not happen… So il be chasing them up tomorrow.
I think you could be looking in wrong direction. Ebay links you have posted clip ons are clearly for sv1000 which has standart forks, yours on the other hand if i’m not mistaken are inverted forks from gsxr SRAD.
Apparently gsxr has different fairings setup, go lower than SV’s. IMO you should be looking for SRAD riser clip ons. Just double check with the guys who sold you the bike if those are SRAD forks.
i like the danmoto ones myself they look fully adjustable and if they are still not long enough you could make a new extension part to make them even higher
