UPDATE.......!

1. on 3rd ring thru....

2. mille clips under yokes......the levers hit the relays...... assume that you guys put the milleclip ontop needing the forks thru the yokes more (I understand that)

does that not alter severly the geometry of the bike? no scientific answers please!!

would prefer too shim the falco clips and use them if above is the case.

where do I get the shims?????

cheers

I'm using falco clipons as I thought the mille ones would cause problems.
Made my own shims from some sheet ally.

The Mille clip ons are different....

Suggest you do as the badger suggests

milles on knew they were different that's why asking if others have pushed the forks thru and clips ontop of yokes.

just going to shim falcos

Yep - I shimmed the Falco clipons but I turned up my own spacers (ex toolmaker with access to a lathe).

Doesn't matter if the clipons are above or below the triple, you can make 'em clear (but only just if they're above).

cheers anz,

shim falcos and keep them below is the way forward ?

seems too be mixed here......

Falcoclips on top or bottom ??????

interested in opinions especially if you've tried both

cheers

Normal position for me - below top yoke.

I have the clipons over the top but thats only because we tour a heelva lot and I'm getting old and creaky. Keeping the clipons standard makes life a lot simpler but if your old and creaky as well as me, then fitting them over the top is also possible

Feel old and creaky....but i will not be defeated

Been having a look about for A HENS TOOTH....oh sorry a fireblade stand....... these things are rare!!!
