Handlebar help, please!

Long-time lurker, first-time poster. I have a quick question for you fifth-gen aficionados: will 98-99 MY clip-ons work on a 2000 model? The PO of my bike did some retarded off-road handlebars and they hit the front fairing and windscreen because they are so ridiculously high. The two types of handlebars have different model numbers, but I can't see why they would change them mid-generation... Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

They are different and wont work... Afaik the problem is the pivot on the triple tree one is slightly displaced and wont fit as it should.
I'm interested on the handlebar riser btw!

 

I've posted details on vfrd

 

Thanks again

 

Hm, another question about the clipons, are they "fixed" to where they point? I get a feeling that my right handle is more turned towards the tank than the left. Is that even possible?

/R

 

It can be just bend... My left one is a little bit bent, but i can live with that

 

Bented....I like that word and will use it as much as possible -often when discussing politics.

Sorry for that... English not my lang.
I've just remembered about Bender from futurama...

 

You speak the language better than most natives here. Keep posting tho-I always read your posts. You clearly know mucho about VFR's and other things as well.

 

Thank you very much dhinson, i just enjoy being helpful... And i've learned a lot on this two forums and this is my way to pay back whats due

 

They will probably fit OK I have modded my 5th Gen using VF1000 clipons. The locating lug on the bottom of the clamps don't line up, which hasn't bothered me. Mike
