LOL Video Caleb fucked that one up! - Van
Maybe it was intentional. 🤣
Haha I thought the same thing. I had a feeling someone might comment on that and you didn’t disappoint!
I’ve been wondering about this for days. It’s like you read my mind!
No worries and thank you for watching! - Van
Learned exactly what I needed to and more in 14 mins. Great vid, thanks!
You are welcome and thank you for watching! - Van
Excellent video as always, super super informative
Thanks for watching and the kind words. - Van
Video was awesome, I might use one of these options on my bike!
Happy to hear it was helpful. - Van
Great info as always.👏 That shirts a real beauty👍
Thanks for watching! These are the shirts we made for Max's MotoAmerica racing. - Van
Learned the hardway and had all those cable management and clearance issues you mentioned trying to give my 50 year old body some higher clip ons. Planning would have made all the difference. Great information.
This is exactly the reason we shot this one today. Thanks for watching and I hope you got your bike all sorted out. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Nope. I bought some halo clip ons for my gixxer600 a few years back. Right before that I went ahead and upgraded the stock brake lines with braided ones. When I did that I only gave myself enough length for my stock clip ons. I ended up keeping the stock clip ons. After that I purchased an L6 1000 and upgraded the lines again but, I'm just dealing with the stock clip ons for now.
Great video and explanation!! Solid video!!
Thank you for watching and the kind words. - Van
If your not first, your last!!🤣🤣🤣
This is a 100% true statement. - Van
Good info.
Thank you for watching! - Van
When you order clip ons, you should order extra bars and keep them in your trunk if you street ride.. so if you go down adn you can still ride home, but your handle bar is broke off, you can slap a new one in and ride home.. zip tie them to your subframe under the fairing if you need to..
Not a bad idea. - Van
That shirts awesome much better than the grey one, would be good to see it in a button up workshop style instead of the polo
The old one is from way back when I did a couple of AMA supersport rounds. While that is a good memory for the old man I will say I am having a ton of fun wrenching for the kid! - Van
Hi there, Hoping you might give me some advice.. I have a Gsxr 750 L9. I'm about 6ft and I find the position of the front brake lever a little too high. When riding in traffic I like to keep a finger or two on the front brake, but because the lever is slightly high I have to lift my fingers and this is uncomfortable. I tried rotating the lever down, but there is no room to move it as the brake lines contact the top of the fork. Would longer clip ons allow me to move the lever outward to get clearance for the brake line? If so, what clip on would you recommend? Thanks!
I have a 2024 Triumph Street Triple 765 RS. It has regular handlebars, but I was looking to see if I could find some zero rise handlebars to get a more sporty riding position. Looking at rear sets too to bring my feet up and back a little.
Some riders are converting this bike into a race bike by installing clip ons, race bodywork etc... - Van
Hello there brian , iv just for the first time change out handle bars to high bars for my zx1400r Kawasaki, it has 100% riding difference in lot of aspects, extended brake line kit comes with in, my only concern after completing the installation is the wiring of the right side that once in at full turn that the wires are fully straight with lillte put. Brian, like to ask this question bud, is there away of extending the wires or is there a wire kits out there.
Great video champ
If you need to you can always splice in extra length to the wiring harness. Before doing that I would take a close look at the harness to see if you could modify some of the routing for it to gain some additional slack. - Van
This is an amazing video & extremely informative. I just bought a 2017 zx10r & the previous owner put some clip on’s that make you sit upright. I want to switch back to the original riding position of a sport bike. I’m unsure on which clip on’s will be the best fit for my bike, attack performance or vortex. I’m 5’7. Any advice from a professional like yourself would be very helpful to me
All of the major hard part brands each have a solid clip on set for your bike. You will need a 50mm set of standard, non-riser clip ons for your bike. - Van
Great video allni need to know now is, how do i set them for myself, i hace a set of cipons but not sure if there out to far or in to close ,
Start with a setting close to the OEM placement and adjust from there to find what suits you best. - Van
Hopefully someone can help: I have gone down the “journey” of dialing in my clip ons for street. Got impaktek 4inch riser clip ons, at full rise it’s very comfy, but the thing is I feel these bikes (supers-port, zx6r in my case) handle much better with the clip ons in the regular position. Despite how tedious it can be on the street.
I’ve since bought a 1000sx which is very comfy, so I’m considering putting my clip ons on my zx6r back to more of a race setting. , I’ve learned height doesn’t change the reach near as much as cant , I have them at 0 degrees , if I go to 7 or more , it really changes the reach, but I feel it makes the bike maneuver better especially on sharp street turns where you gotta be careful due to gravel and water.
I prefer the 7 to the 0 as well. IMO if you plan to ride the bike aggressively or on the track at all they are a much better option. The risers transform a sportbike into more of a sport touring bike. - Van
Im 5'7 and just bought 23 zx636 . What rise would you recommend for better street ability and still be able to track day it. Thanks and great video . Very informative
Riser clip ons are not recommended for this model. You will be best off installing a set of standard clip ons on you 636. - Van
Hey Brian, great video. Quick question: I'm 6' 2" and plan to get clip ons for a 15+ R1. Is there a particular clip on brand you recommend? Looking at the multiple options out there for the bike, it's difficult to distinguish which would be best for me. Thank you.
Well that really depends on what you are looking to do. If you need to raise the bars take a look at the Woodcraft riser clip ons or the Helibars which are adjustable. Now if you are looking for a standard set of race clip ons Driven, Attack, Woodcraft and Vortex all make nice parts. - Van
Tight shirt guy haven’t seen your vids for a long time bro
Shirt fits perfectly. If yours fits different perhaps you should work on that? - Van
Can you do one on why getting track fairings may force you to install clip-ons instead of using the factory clips-ons? Ex. I have a 2007 SV650 that I want to get the Hotbodies track fairings for, the kit requires aftermarket 41mm clip-ons.
This is rare as most sport bikes will not require changing the clip ons to allow for race bodywork use. - Van
Brian I have a 18 R6 and will be purchasing clip ons in a few days.
Question is how did the bike feel with the attack clip ons to the vortex. And which one would you run for a track only bike
If you need the bars to be closer to you then the Attack are the way to go. If you are happy with the reach to the OEM bars the Vortex are the way to go. Also important to note the Attack are a little tougher to install because they really strain the limits of the throttle cables and such with every model being a little different. - Van
I was wondering, does anyone makes clip-ons for a KTM rc390 with a longer reach? I can't get my elbows tucked in ahead of my knees and would like to move the bars forward an inch or two. Thanks for all the great content.
Sorry I am not aware of any KTM 390 specific clip ons. - Van
Man I’m a new rider n need new clips one for my ZX6R 2013 but I’m getting a headache tryinna figure this out
On that bike I would go with the Woodcraft 3 piece split clip ons. Here is a link to them on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/woodcraft-3-piece-split-clip-ons/ - Van
Hey there, I'm looking to add some woodcraft clip ons to my 2014 fz6r. I've been back and forth and seen different people use either the 1.5 inch rise or the 2 inch rise. With the 1.5 I think there is an issue with the brake lever touching qhen u left turn all the way. But I have heard that with the 2 inch rise there supposed to be no clearance or other issues. Wanted to ask if you have any info or recommendations for this bike. Plz lmk if have any helpful info for this I would appreciate it. Thanks
I am not familiar with this model and have no personal experience installing clip ons on it. - Van
Hey, so I'm considering switching the stock clipons to aftermarket ones to get a better ability to tweak them to my body shape, I'm really looking for a good break down of what all the different options mean, you mentioned offset there and you didn't really go into much detail, you said it was zero offset? Essentially I'm looking for a set of clipons that will level out and take my hands a little bit wider and further away. Am I looking for zero offset or 20deg 30deg 50deg ? I have no idea what I need to measure to know what numbers to pick. will offset help with clearance issues?
This will be hard to answer properly over TH-cam comments. Please shoot the team an email on orders@sportbiketrackgear.com and they will get you all sorted out. - Van
I need either that shop shirt or that hoodie in the thumbnail. Any chance they're for sale Brian?
We printed these up for Max Van's MotoAmerica Junior Cup races. They cost me like $70 each to print. Currently we are looking for a vendor to produce at a more reasonable cost so we can sell them. We got some jackets for Max too, I was just wearing my Team Hammer hoodie today. - Van
Hi I have a 2001 tL1000s with a short reach . I’d like to find something, a kit possibly, to bring back an inch or two to the handlebars. Have any suggestions for me? Thanks

Finally checked off track day on my bucket list. I borrowed a stock R7 but I own a CBR500R (2021) any eta on rear sets and clip ons?
We expect to see some of the R7 stuff in the coming weeks with most ready to go in the upcoming off season. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear any rear sets or clip ons available for cbr500r 2021? I'm trying to convert my bike to a track bike in the future. Not sure if I am ready for new R7 just yet. I've been doing some research and it looks like there some racing spec cbr500r back in the day in some smaller competitions in Europe. I can find the specs for that but any info would be greatly appreciated
If you had a zx7r which clip ons would you run ? would you go standard or LONG one from woodcraft ? Will the woodcraft ones be any different than the stock ones ?
Standard length is what we run. They will be a little lower and more forward from OEM. - Van
Hi ! I have added the graves and the vortex 50mm clipons in my cart for the zx10r 2018. Which ones have longer tubes for maximum leverage ? A satisfied customer.
Bar length on these will be the same. Thank you for your business and apologies for the slow response. We were on the west coast racing for the past three weeks +. - Van
@@sportbiketrackgear Purchased a pair of Graves ! Thanks for the quality product.
2003 Honda RC 51 Older rider long legs shorter arms, would like to shorten the reach and possible raise bars slightly, any experience recommendations etc. don"t want to trim the fairing. Thanks Steve
Your only real option here would be to install a set of riser clip ons. Woodcraft has several options to choose from and they have a guide to help determine which rise you can use (if any) without issues. Here is a link to that chart: cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0248/5973/8163/files/clipon_risers.pdf?v=1592319992
I just bought a 2019 Triumph speed twin, and I'm considering modifying it by installing clip ons in order to lower my riding position. My takeaway from your video is that it's not at all a simple modification. That said, the shop quoted me $700 for parts and labor for that installation, which seems exorbitant. Any thoughts on which bars are best for that model, whether that quote seems right, and whether or not I should simply install them myself? At the very least I would like to procure the bars myself in order to keep the costs under control. I'm 5'9", 190 lbs, and have very long arms (6'3" wingspan), in case that affects your answer. Thanks for your input.
I am sorry to say I am not familiar enough with this model to make a recommendation for you. If the change is significant enough that it requires changing cables and or brake lines I could see it easily costing that much. - Van
I have a 2017 gsxr 750 that I’d like to put risers on. Can we order the longer throttle cable, clutch cable and longer brake lines through STG?
I have an option for you that will allow you to use your OEM cables and lines from Helibars. The product listing in the link shows the difference in position and gives some measurements to further qualify the difference.

Hey there, nice video tho. I was wondering i have a K4 sv 650 S in middle of Track preparation here and the stock clip ons are raised, but too much at my taste. Things is i can't put standard non raised clip ons aswell because even the racefairings interfere. So i was wondering if u know some brands that makes like 1inch raised clip ons and all ;)

Hey this is quite an old video. However, I have an 09 Ninja 650R, it's a pretty stand up(sport-touring) bike. Is there any way, using clip ons, to get a lower stance on the bike, or am I out of luck ?
You can install clip ons with this model but you will most likely have to make some modifications to the OEM bodywork in order to get them to fit. - Van
How about for 2023 S1000RR How much higher can do bars for this bike? Id buy ie tomorrow if I knew I could relax the ergos without it be a crazy "journey"

Hey Van Im 5'5" I just bought a 2005 Yamaha R6 with stock handlebar I have short arms and its hurting my arm and neck is WOodcraft handlebar riser clipons good for me or will it help me? Thanks -Van.
Woodcraft risers will help get the bars closer to you and should help. Important to note with the stock cables, brake line and electrical you can only move things so far before you will need to start modifying other shit. - Van

I have a 2014 cbr1000rr SP I went down a little bit over a month ago. In doing so, it damaged my oem clip-ons. I'm having a hard time finding a pair of Clip-Ons that will work on my bike that I can afford. I bought a pair of woodcraft clip-ons off eBay. The seller said they were taken off a cbr 1000rr. Well, they don't fit. There are several problems I am encountering with these clip-ons, none of which I can afford. My bike is my only means of transportation. Do you have any ideas on an inexpensive pair of clip-ons I could put on my bike with little to no modifications needed? Thank you

What percentage of sportbikes ever get raced? For that matter what percentage of em even do track days? Or more than just a couple their entire service life? I dont understand why manufacturers dont offer versions of full faired sportbike models where one could actually buy one built for comfort....yes poser bikes with slightly taller fairings and upwardly offset clip ons along with the same detuned motors they already reserve for the butt ugly naked bikes And PLEASE dont just say "buy and adventure bike or naked" OR any of the strange ADV proportioned bikes that are NOT dirt worthy true adv bikes....like the S1000XR ....WHY?? WHY does it have to be so tall and heavy compared to the RR or the R? I almost bought an XR but it was ridiculously like an adv bike with 17" wheels....in total frustration I bought a Tracer 9gt instead which isnt much better and a year later I am looking to replace it but with WHAT??
If you want to get a proper sportbike with handlebars high enough to make it comfortable there are a couple of options out there. We sell kits from ABM/LSL and Helibars that can make a massive difference. Below are links to both:
