I have a 94 ST with aftermarket straight bars. I am thinking of returning them back to the original clip-ons, however, at £140 a pair, I want to make sure there are no alternatives.
I have seen plenty of aftermarket clip-ons for sale at a more reasonable price, but I once read somewhere that the ST clip-ons were not a standard fit. Something to do with a clip or tag at the point of fixing.
I have no way of getting a look at the original bars, and therefore was wondering if somebody could confirm if the OEM clip-ons are indeed different to aftermarket clip-ons.
I also wanted to ask if anybody had changed from the Clip-ons to straight/crosser bars?
I ask this because I am more than happy with the handling of the bike as it is, and only want to revert to the Clip-ons for aesthetic reasons. Obviously, I expect the handling to be very different anbd wondered if somebody could give a direct comparison?
Cheers for any information.
