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

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.

I have the clipons, they're good shit.

Now I just want the sliders, spools, rearsets, case covers, bodywork, etc......

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.
