Anyone to confirm the diameter for clip-ons? (55mm?)

 

Rizoma and Pro taper for the fatbars

 

I don't really understand what the Robby handlebars would look like on a bike, but here is a picture of the LSL Fat-bar. They look pretty cool, and I like the gold color in the picture too.

I take it that all you guys are planning on switching handle bars on your nineT.

Contour | Pro Taper

 

Question for this group, are clip ons very usable for day-to-day without also providing rear sets? Seems it would change the ergonomics a good deal and not compensating for the different lean angle could be very uncomfortable. Should add also a section for rear sets?

 

I can attest to the discomfort. I actually got my used classic with clips and no rear sets. It’s likely the reason the previous owner turned it in to the dealership for a trade with only 500 miles on the odometer and why when it was test ridden no one scooped it up until me. The first thing I did was to remove the clips, I didn’t want a Cafe bike or to pay the cost for rear sets either. If you like riding with your knees in your arm pits then go with clips and no rear sets. If you want the true cafe feel and look then clips are a must ... and so are rear sets.

What do you think of this ace bar, that can be adjusted in many different ways (click on the image to see a photo gallery):

Interesting idea for variability's sake, but kind of cluttered by the adjustment joints.

If I were to look for a different bar it would be to find one that fits me best, and then I would just ride with it. No need for variability once the fit is identified. So, for me, a fixed-shape bar would work just as well and offer a cleaner look.

But if you were interested in changing your geometry for different riding, then the adjustable bar might be a good idea. Not for me, though. I get used to a bike and expect it to behave and be set up in a certain way.

 

Thanks for this information. I need to change my handle bars to something narrower to get through London traffic and so I can get my R nine T through my front door. I am thinking I will go for the Rizoma MA008B as their width is 720mm. I like the look of their bar end mirrors too. Does anyone have anything more on this?
I eventually may change to clip-ons but I will wait and see what parts come out and what others do to their bikes.

I have both on my R1200R.

 

has anyone used Rizoma MA010B?

 

I've just ordered the MA008B..... Slightly higher and slightly narrower. Ordered the reverse retro mirrors too.

 

Did you order Rizoma riser too? AZ4 or AZ405B
I wanted to know whether the riser fits or not???

 

Please post some pics when it's done.
I think i will go with the rizoma bar as well.
Is it the same diameter as the stock?

 

Do you have the whith of the stock handlebar?
The rizoma is 720mm.
I will only get my bike next week...
Thanks

 

The stock is about 820mm. I believe believe the diameter is the same as stock. I'll post some photos once changed over.

 

I've just ordered a pair of S1000RR stock clip-ons... Let's see how it looks when I'll receive the bike and set them up (two weeks from now).

 

you ordered some new rear sets too? your knees are gonna be in your armpits!

 

No, no rearsets for now. But, I'm not tall enough to suffer with this modification.
Anyway, if the position is not comfortable I'll try to just add some rearset adapter plates (custom made).

The only rearset that fits the NineT is the Gilles Tooling set... which is quite expensive...

 

And here are the clip-ons...

Now, I'm waiting for the bike...

 

I haven't seen a bar that is going to work for me.
The stock bars feel like motocross bars because of the 31" width.
24" would be more like it.

 

Thank you very much!

 

I know it's a different topic but thought you guys will know. I'm looking at mirrors I can screw straight in. Are factory mirrors 10mm with 1.5 offset ??
Thanks.

Love those bar end mirrors! Where do you think I could find them?

 

These particular ones are from a Triumph Thruxton.

Quick google search comes up with this one for example (Bar End Mirror Triumph Thruxton).

My Handlebar Solution

I wanted narrower handlebars but not too much lower.
The closest I could find were Triumph STREET (not speed) Triple bars.
I soon discovered they they were too narrow to mount the levers correctly,
so i has a set of custom adapters made of Stainless steel that would thread into the Street Triple bars which hold their bar ends on with a 16mmx2mm thread pitch. This results in a width of 27-1/2 " compared to the original 32" bars.

I extended the length of the bars by 7/8 (22mm) and had an additional extension of .530" of 1" diameter so I could mount the bar end mirrors. i had the adapter threaded so that I could mount a 12mmx25 bolt so that I could use the original end caps.

The most difficult parts of this installation were drilling the handlebars for the correct orientation of the handgrips and rounding up the 6 different sized of Torx wrenches to disassemble/ reassemble the handgrips.

Enclosed are pictures of the finished product

 

I wish they had 7/8 triples. I’d like a little lower and narrower without losing the mirrors. That bulge bar is something to just work around.

 

Very neat! Good job... I wish I'd have access to such machinery...

Got the Clubmans and posted the install here: BUELL Clubmans on NineT < Click

 

i just installed apex 3" adjustable rise clip ons (55mm).

Link: https://www.apexmfg.com/products/apex-clip-ons/product/view/11/172

As far as install difficulty: I started at 730pm and finished at 1130pm. The most difficult thing was getting the new hole for the grips drilled in the proper position. It's helpful to have a second person to hold the grip in place and mark the desired position while you sit on the bike with your hands in the position you want. I did the left bar by myself and over rotated the grip just a bit. The horn is now in the area my thumb naturally moves to for the turn signals. Needless to say, there were at least 2 horn beeps during lane changes on the ride home but it's something i should quickly get used to. These clips ons also require you to drop the forks in order to slide them on, which when the bike is jacked up is actually easier than it thought it would be.

As far as fit and complications: the bars cannot be used to their max rise due to the clutch cable hitting the speedo if you decide to have to riser take off from the front aspect of the fork (option 1 on attached image). If you are ok with rotating the clip on so the riser takes off from the side of the fork you should be able to use all of the rise however the bars will need to be less angled backward or you will hit the tank (option 2 on image).

As far as comfort: these bars are a commitment that is for sure. They are very forward and very low. I have freakishly long arms so the reach does not bother me as much (6'3" 205 37in sleeve). They definitely change the entire feel of the bike from a standard to a full on sport bike. Again I am not using the full amount of rise but I would imagine the riding position to still be very aggressive even with it.

and finally, the look... F$$kin AWESOME. I have CRG folding bar ends on the way and will be sure to post pictures as soon as they are installed. I'd like to thank everyone on the forum for all the information. It helped a lot during the project.
