Woodcraft clip-ons with stock clamp
« on: May 23, 2016, 01:56:46 PM »
Does anyone have pictures of this setup? I'm currently using the Tarozzi high rise ones and, although I think the clamp is not very well thought out, I haven't had any issues with them slipping. The downfall with the Tarozzis when running the stock clamp is that they contact the clamp and it limits how high they can be on the forks. The Woodcrafts look very thin. Would love to see pics or hear thoughts. Thanks.

I had a set of Woodcrafts, but they were for a GSXR front, so probably not much help.  Let me know if you need photos.

I have woodcraft clip-on bars with a stock (shaved) CB550 triple and the bars go right to the very underside of the triple clamp. There is no obstruction. I'll look for a photo and report back.

Here's one. Albeit there is #$%*ty lighting in my garage, I think this is what you were looking to see?

Oh yeah that's exactly what I was looking for Trad. Because of the interference, the clamp on my Tarozzis is a full inch below the bottom of the clamp. I bet the mid-rise Woodcrafts would sit higher than mine do. Thanks. I was just curious.
