Here's a quick pic of my new clip ons installed on the KZ and here's a link to them on ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&vxp=mtr&item=260890918181

They look great and hard to beat the price. I did have to improvise with the brake resevoir since the stock master cylinder wouldn't slide onto the bar far enough since it was hitting the clip on mounts, the gauges and just about everything possible but I had an extra brake assembly from a Honda Nighthawk which fits on much nicer since it's rectangular.

Dammit, I need to quit reading this thread. It makes me lament my lack of workspace and fundage. Why, oh why did I decided to go back to college?

Funny. I was looking at these for my KZ project - from the same seller too, I might add.

It's called Deferred Gratification, my friend. It's a good thing, but an all but forgotten concept. Teach it to your children.

I looked at both of those as well. The fully adjustable ones won out. I was surprised by the sipping. It originally said estimated arrival date around Nov17 but they showed up on the 7th. I'm very impressed with the quality especially considering the price. Now I need to extend the headlight out an inch or so to get the fairing to clear the brake assembly.

 

[biker_reject]

I didn't catch that they were adjustable. Wow, that makes the price really attractive.

Nothing too exciting or expensive, but picked up my crankcase breather filter yesterday:

Hey Noah, did those clipons you got from ebay, were they too short? I noticed theones from DCC are 12 inches(30cm) and the ones from ebay were 26cm total.. Did everything fit onto the bars alright?

They're just shy of 8.5" from the brackets to the end of the bars. Most of the others I'd been looking at were 9" or less so the 12" are probably from end to end including the brackets. They're long enough for the controls and grips but I did have to swap out the brake master cylinder since the stock one wouldn't slide on far enough since the brake fluid resevoir wouldn't clear the mounting brackets and forks.

That is one sexy cycle. I can't make it out on my phone, but is that leopard print on the windscreen?
