What to do with the handlebar mounts when converting to clip-on controls?
#1



As the title says, I'm trying to come up with some valid ideas on what to do with the mounting positions of the old handlebar clamps in the triple in the event that I should hypothetically change my controls to clip ons.

Woodcraft makes a really nice set of adjustable side mount clip ons with 3" risers and extra long bars, which i'm considering as a part of a series of modifications to make my CB just a bit more aggressive on the ergos to cope with my riding style. However, I'm at a loss as to what to do with the holes left in the triple by the original handlebar clamps. Is there something useful I can do with this? I'm sure I could just jam a bolt in there or something to fill it but I feel like it's an opportunity to put something cooler in.

If anybody has converted a handlebar to clip ons on any motorcycle in the past and you had a way of dealing with these cavities, Please let me know. I need ideas.
