Sadly, no, they don't fully clear the tank; however, the only part that touches the tank is the soft plastic part of the signal assembly, and it only touches at basically full-lock. I'll take a pic of it in the morning tomorrow to show the extent.

If the gauge cluster wasn't so wide, I would definitely be able to push the bars out just enough to clear the tank.

Amen! My lazy butt even sits in that thing while cleaning the bike.

Ps, you a CB? I was an MA from 06-10. One of the good ones, I think... Lol

Docrid. In response to your question I have to assume no as I don't even recognize the acronyms CB or MA please explain so I can answer you properly?

"Seabee" comes from the initials "CB" which refers to members of the Navy's Construction Battalion. I've never heard "Seabee" used for anything else so I just assumed you were Navy too Wink

DocRid, they say you learn something new everyday. I was not aware of the Navy Seabees and am not military myself however to explain my forum name I work in the Marine engineering industry and came up with the name to suit the CB1100.
I feel a little humbled now as the real Seabees are no doubt far more worthy of the name.
Thanks for the information and explanation Biker

Love the bike! It looks awesome. Do you think the 3in. Woodcraft clip-ons would clear the tank? I was considering the 2.5in but i had the same concerns it maybe cutting it real close. Trying not to change the subject or thread jack, but on the topic/subject of clip-ons, would anyone happen to know the rise on the Yamamoto separate handlebars?

Hmmm... this bike looks strangely similar to one that showed up in the Show us your Bike thread on Arfcom recently....

I don't think the 3in would clear totally. Woodcraft does make a spacer that pushes the bars out a little bit, so that might clear it.

Also, I wouldn't recommend going any higher than 2.5in. At that point, you might as well just get bars.

Alright so it's been a fun summer with these clip-ons, but I think I'm going to try out the cb500f bars. I don't think the clip-ons are a good match for this bike because the foot controls are too forward, making me feel cramped.

Hot looking bike DocRid!
