I have been looking to put on a set of clip-on's myself next month (another 6'4" owner here) and I was reading about a '13 cb1100 I saw on the internet where he found this set and was able to install without them hitting the tank he said. Has anyone seen these and installed them? I think I'm going to buy them next month, Tried DCC shorty clubman's last summer and just couldn't get the wrist angle comfortable and they still touched the tank...

I think these bars (link below) have the highest adjustment ability out of all that I'v seen out there, I have even been pondering whether they could be installed upside down on opposite fork tubes to get an ever lower stance on the bike which is what I want since I'm fairly tall, the only thing that could be an issue with the upside down install is whether they are locked in place or not after adjusted to my liking, wouldn't want them slipping out on a ride lol.

Also I have been thinking that if I'm going to spend $250 on these bars why not find a set of CBR600RR or 1000RR USD forks and have them swapped in by a shop, you can have Cognito Moto make the stem to press into the CBR Triples and go with a CBR front wheel and calipers but the APEX clip on's might still be needed for tank clearance issue's to be solved with these forks. Anyways just thought I'd pass along these Ideas and If I follow through with them I'll create a separate thread in the future if and when it's finished. CycleSpot in New Zealand (check they're facebook page for photo's) have done this and the bike looks amazing, they won the CB1100 build off even that happened a little while ago that Honda hosted, pretty much the example I want my CB1100 to mirror. Let me know what you guys think.

The red CB1100 has the APEX Clip on's and the Grey CB1100 is the Cycle Spot bike from Cycle Spot New Zealand which both of which I mentioned in my previous post, just found the pics of these bikes which always helps Beer

Those look to be a good option. The bars adjust independently from the tube clamps, so you can clock them out to avoid the tank. The woodcraft clip-ons can only be clocked from the tube clamp, so they'll contact the bridge, really limiting how much you can adjust them.

Don't install these upside down. There's no keeper on the riser. If the riser clamp bolt backs off you'll lose the bar completely. If the riser clamp bolt backs off when these are installed normally, you'll just drop the bar to the tube clamp, but at least you'd have a chance to hold on.
