Finally got the adjustable 52mm clip ons from my favorite Italian parts maker today in the mail ! They are beautiful, and I will get them on ASAP. Having suffered a slight stroke last Tuesday I am somewhat slowed having spent most of last week in the Hospital . No fun. My Neurologist hates motorcycles and she told me I should quit riding them and related several horror stories of her internship and motorcyclist's
brain damage. I did not tell her I was damaged more by the friggin hospital than any darn motorcycle crack-up I ever had! Those folks , however good intentioned, really tried to kill me IMHO. They did not get me yet and as soon as it warms up a bit and I get adjusted to my new rat poison medicine, I am going riding !!
AIN'T LIFE GRAND ?

HiVel,

Sorry to hear about the stroke. Take good care of yourself (by riding really fast). But happy to hear about the Tommaselli clip-ons. Post up some pics when you can. Which style did you get?

Take care of yourself there partner, be safe.

I'm also waiting for my Tommaselli's to show up, it's been quite a while since I ordered them but I did notice a charge to my credit card finally showed up from 'motomeccaspares' on the 4th, so hopefully any day now!

All the same I was warned that the italians do take their time getting to this stuff, haste was simply not one of their finer qualities.

Now I've gotta go order that tool to undo the steering bolt so that I can take off the triple clamp.

Again, take care of yourself HiVel, all the best
