Default Clip-ons

Hi to all

Can anyone recommend some good quality, proper adjustable clip-ons. I'd like them to be adjustable for angle - vertical, horizontal, rotational (around the forks, so as to affect reach and wrist comfort.

All suggestions gratefully received.

Thanks

Ash

My research is that the available clip-ons all need some kind of body modification else they touch the bodywork at full left or full right. I'm interested to see what others have to say.

With a little tweaking, a 2" rise can be done with no parts required. The brake handle assembly may be tilted forward to avoid contact with the mirror mounting point. The reservoir may mounted lower with a slight modification to the tube. The plastics above the mirror mounting are very flexible and by tilting the windscreen forward by extension screws from the mounting points effectively gives the rider a free Double Bubble.

How did you raise the bars? Drop the yokes through the forks and then place the clip ons on top of the top yoke?
