Yep, Clip-on's and case covers are on my list of things to order. I had a set of Woodcraft rearsets and I loved them, if I ever need another set of rearsets I'll be buying Woodcraft again.

The woodcraft clipons are super nice.

I want everything they make, basically. Just don't have the money :lol:

A friend of mine has the clip-on's, I helped him install them, they are georgeous! My issue is I could spend the money on the various parts I want, or tires and trackdays. So I keep buying tires and trackdays, and then when I crash I'll buy woodcraft stuff. :lol:

This thread will take a noob revival! I realize that clip ons are pretty much new handle bars, right? What advantages can one seek from them?

I believe Woodcraft advertises that theirs are easy to adjust without having to remove half the bike to get to them as well as several adjustable positions. Does that pretty much cover it?

There are several reasons/benefits to go to aftermarket clipons:

1. They allow you to crash, loosen a bolt, change the handlebar tube, and ride again.

2. The spare handlebar tubes are like 10 bucks each, instead of the stock clipons where if you crash you have to replace the whole thing.

3. Many clipons will change the riding position, angle of the handlebars, or even change whether the clipons are mounted above or below the top triple, etc.

4. The woodcrafts specifically allow you to not only change the handlebar without taking anything apart, but also allow you to entirely remove the clipon without taking the top triple clamp off.

Maybe there are other reasons/benefits I'm forgetting. Anyone?

Woodcraft makes a nice clip on that raises the bars about an inch or so for a more comfortable ride.

I would like to install frame sliders on my bike. I am thinking about putting the new fairing on this weekend and figured it would be a good time to install some frame sliders.

Based on my own logic it seems that cut frame sliders would severe a better purpose even if by a slim margin. So I don't mind cutting into a fairing to install the sliders. Most of the excuses I was reading on the gixxer.com forums were full of t3h poops. I am a new rider, but I am smart enough to know that I will end up laying it down at some point. Either by complete accident or because I was really pushing myself at a track day.

On the other place I recall a thread and several people were discussing the important of the actual material used on the slider. Advice please?

Which fairing will I be cutting into? Because the right side of my bike is already torn up and I would have an extra right side fairing to perfect the cutting action before taking it to my brand new fairing if needed.

Thanks in advance!

And yes, you can expect many more threads. I will noob this place up if no one else will.:sorry:
