2020 Vit clip on and Cie

[lideos]

Hello everyone !
just to show what I've made :
clip on my vit,
a wind screen (I've tried to reduce consumption on hight ways but no gains)
r&g crash
body pannels
mirrors
aluminium chain guard
rear mud guard mod

You either have incredibly long arms or you enjoy a little pain. The vit bars are so low stock and then you went even lower!

Nah, the stock bars aren't radically low, very mild as far as clip-ons go.

You should see how low the bars are on my road bicycle.

Cheers!

I love the look of the clip-ons.

Was it difficult to remove the original bars?

Does the bike handle better with the lower bars?

Do the new clip-ons hit the tank at full steering lock?

No original bars easily go away. But you have to unmount the upper trippel tree (ok so far) and cut in the black plastic cables cache (harder).
the clip-ons doesn't touch the tank at full steering (neither my arms). they pass just under the "401" on the tank.

I did that because my wrists were painfuls and I wanted to tune the orientation/angles as I needed => success! even if it's lower no pain anymore. (I'm from bicycle world too )

Yes for me it's handling definitively better... because it's tuned for me (1m75).

Thanks! I'm seriously considering clip-ons for my Vit.

I've been to France a couple of times for bicycle riding and to see the Tour de France.

How is the bicycling in your area? Are you close to mountain roads?

It's been a long time that I haven't ride my bicycle... I live in a medium-mountains area (400-1300m hight) so it's cool for bicycle and my vit'.

Medium mountains where I live too, in the vicinity of Malibu, Southern California.

It's cycling and motorcycling paradise.
