Hello,

I have a '03 M620ie and I'm thinking about getting rid of the BMX style
factory handle bar. I've been looking at clip-ons but one thing bugs
me, The triple tree clamp sits pretty low, will the clips-ons go
underneath the top of the triple tree clamp???

Won't that lower the riding position so significantly that I'll be
putting all my weight on my wrists.

Is there any clip-ons made which install higher? Or am I looking at a
fork modification then?

Any install tips? Like getting the throttle and grips off of the old
bar and onto the clip-ons? Remounting the fluid reservoirs?

Thanks for your time!

You'll learn not to.

See cyclecat.com for their adjustable bar mounting system.

If you haven't found it yet, check out Ducatimonster.org Sign up and do a
search for your topic. The Cyclecat clip-ons are some of the very best and
come in different size risers. They also make several very nice replacement
top triples.
