Hey, I agree with Mancha, those aren't what I've thought clubman bars are... I'd call the bars you've got "superbike" bars. Doesn't really matter what they're called, they look cool.

I also swapped out my clip-ons. I put a few thousand miles on the bike, and never really got used to the stock clip-ons, and had been looking at the options. The need to make a modification was forced on me. In January, I dislocated and broke my wrist in two places and needed modifications of my own at the local operating table. I decided on the Helibars, just because it looked like the least amount of dicking around and would provide a good bit of rise so that there'd be less weight on my gimpy wrist. Overall, the installation wasn't bad, all the peices to the puzzle are included with the kit. I'm not crazy about the looks, but the riding position seems like it will work. I haven't been able to ride much yet beyond a couple trips around the block - my splint makes throttle control iffy! The pins come out of my wrist tomorrow and needless to say I'm ready to try the helibars on a longer ride.
