Has anyone tried these clip-ons

[hurricane7]

Anyone have any experience with ebay seller "dustinpoole" or these clip-ons...

Thinking about getting them. Price is right, but the old saying...you get what you pay for...is making me think twice. Feedback is good, but feedback from the DTT crew would be much more reassuring!

Thanks!

For that same pice you can find them on ebay every day. I would try different ones, as there is no clear pic of those!

I dont know... Thats cheap....

The bracket looks better than your standard crush tube style... Try them!

For that $, if they stay together there worth it. IMO

Looks OK, perhaps they are the first realistically priced clipo-ns seen in years?

make your own, find an old triple clamp that is steel and the same diam. as the stock cut the clamp off and weld on you bars...simple as that

There are two sets on ebay now for that price in 33mm and other sizes for the same. They are always on there for $49. Deviant1 got a set of these and they are not the best quality in the world, but they are most certainly worth $50 plus ship. The link is to the same ones Deviant got!

and Big red, why go through the trouble of finding a clamp, just find some steel pipe from a steel supply center with a real close ID. weld on the 7/8 bar, two small tubes for bolts, cut down center to create gap, and DONE!

geez wuite the process wen all the works done already wen finding a clamp other than welding on bars...it was just a thought to help kuz we have a set layin around here made that way...then again we have a ton of honda stuff, so i guess its easier for some than others, then again theres usually one at almost any junkyard also

Thanks for chimin' in on this, guys. I decided not to get them. I like the simple, less bulky look of the ones in tWisted's link, but haven't decided yet.

BTW, tWisted, are you running the ones from steadfast on Eileen? I wouldn't mind going with the bare metal look like those.

No, I wanted bare metal because I was painting them. I got them from another member on here ( black motor covonent) but they appear to be home made. He bought them and did not like the steep ange of them. So i bought them and love that steep angle! Alex used those on Dolores!

Yep. They're good clip-ons without too steep of an angle. They've been good bars. I haven't had any problems with them.

I've got a couple sets of these from Dustinpoole off of Ebay and they work great. They're as advertised -- they're not top dollar Thomasellis, but of course, they're not top dollar. Strong steel and solid.
