you can not bolt the clip. in that bolts..they can be turned loose..it have to be solid mounted...there are a lot of pressure on there..and safty must 110%

As I wrote together with the pictures, im going to get another pair of fork caps, drill and thread them with M8 to mount the clip ons with them. I'ts the same design as Dunstall Used.

I like it either way, but I think I like the stock bars a little better.  Did you ever get the engine problem sorted out?

I agree with you, that's why I though I should Try the clip ons for a while if it doesn't provide any more cost and time. But I think i Will be fine with stock length cables (euro stock).
No not really, I strongly believe it's a electric problem, and haven't really had time nor money to change components and try the bike in rain. And since it's working fine otherwise that's how Im going to ride it until the bike season is over then deal with that problem for the following season

Looks like they will hit the tank

Actually they clears the tank. Thought to myself that "Hmmm maybe I should get a picture of the clearing", but forgot At the steering lock I do pinch my fingers against the tank a little and IF im going to really use these bars maybe I Fix a little mit narrow/tight stearinglock

I decided to ditch the clip-ons. I like the riding position of the eurobars to much they are now for sale, check the sales part of the forum.

I also bought a forkbrace from Tkat. His last Beta version so hopfully that will stiff up the front end, and I will update you guys when it arrives. I also mounted a Oberon bar end mirror, fits like a glove and provides a stable view back, pictures later today.

So there's small tweeks here and there. Hmmm, I also sold the steering damper, It was simply to LOoooong, but will get a shorter one later on.

-As fas as the winter plans Im planning on changing the ignition system - sparkcaps, spark cables, coils, ignition plate etc. Read more in this thread http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=114902.0
 
- I also want to change to progressive springs in the front and the hagon shocks in the back that with the forkbrace I hope will improve the handeling and the reliablility of the bike

Well today I mounted My Tkat forkbrace.
According to Tkat he doesn't have anymore forkbraces for the early (lower forks) to the cb750, I bought a beta version.
Eventhough it's a beta version the craftmanship is really good. Everything is snugg and fiting properly.

well now to the fun part, any difference ?

Huge difference ! 
I can't honestly wait until I get a chance to drive it a little bit more. But the short ride I took directly after fiting the forkbrace it's a big improvement. The front feels much more firm, much more stable in the corners. Simply put, they're well worth the money (which IMO is a fair price). Here's some pictures of them, with the dual discs my front end now starting to look quite beefy I actually like that the design is't that "estetic" it's just pure functionall, and that makes it look good IMO

Makes the front end look nice.Glad to hear it works well.

Wow 90 days since my last update !

Well thats mostly due to riding and working. The past summer I drove about 4000 km and will post some pictures from throught the sumer later on. I just got back to "keybord wrenching" = searching the net for some sweet parts

This winter / not riding season I'm planing to

1: Buy a new pair of Hagon shocks for the rear and a pair of progressive ones for the front. Then preload the front ones so that the bike don't "dive" as hard when breaking. After I upgraded the brakes I've felt a need for a stiffer front.

2: Buy new ignition plate, coils, caps etc. In order to get my electrical issues sorted out.

Since the last time I visited the forum I've moved up to Stockholm, and the bike is now sharing a garage with about 5 other SOHC4. Unfortunately we had a break-in in the garage BUUUT nothing was stolen or destroyed.

If anyone have recomendations regarding the igntition or suspension please share !

You all take care now !

Hey Viktor!   Glad to hear nothing was stolen, would like to see pics of all the bikes.

Hagon shocks and Progressive springs sound like a nice upgrade. You'll need new seals too.
