S1000RR Renthal Clipons

Very happy to receive these today in the post. Most likely going down to OMC to fit them. Will document the experience as well :slight_smile:

52mm Renthal clip-ons, with dual-compound street grips. Never had to use the glue before but thought I’d give it a go and see if it was better.

The quality feels exceptionally good. Way better than the Woodcraft clip-ons I’ve run a few times before and been really happy with.

I see what you’ve done there :wink:

Mr-C you sir are an Artist!

I bow to your impeccable choice of video riposte to his shameless name dropping!

:slight_smile:

i was actually talking about them the other day, love those guys their show is hilarious!

Uh-oh, and to make matters worse, I actually use one of those keyboards at work. Doh!

Looking forward to the report, are the new bars wider than the std ones. :slight_smile:

I’ve not measured. I would have thought so, slightly. Will report back :slight_smile:

So how much did these beauties cost?

whats the advantage of those over stock?

or is it just ‘bling’

It’s an usual mod for a road-bike, but the benefits are two-fold:

  • They’re adjustable, whereas stock handlebars are not. With these, you can move them down the fork leg and splay the bar angle out to a more horizontal degree. For me, I like to have slightly less acute an angle than the stock bars, making it easier to turn the bike (more leverage).

  • Cheap and fast to replace in the event of damage. The tube unbolts easily and can be replaced with spares. I don’t plan on exercising this benefit though :slight_smile:

PJ: The princely sum of £60 on eBay :slight_smile:

Oh Boris, also, the grips are grippier than stock, giving a better connection to the bike. You can feel more of what’s going on at the front.

They didn’t fit. The S1000RR has 55mm fork tops, not 52mm as I was informed elsewhere.

Anyone looking for 52mm clip-ons? :slight_smile:

aah was that you on the RR on Sat when I was doing the GSR’s service? Lovely bike Jay! :slight_smile:

somewhat outta my budget for sure:crying:

I’d love that bike in my garage next to the Gisser:D

Yes, it was me, Jaime :slight_smile:

Mmmmm i wonder if they will fit the ZX7:P

I’m sure everything on the 7 is oversized! I bet 55mm as well!

But do go measure them :slight_smile:
