Im looking at getting these and before anyone jumps on my case I just like the look and do a lot of filtering so these could protect the levers. All I wanna know is will these fit my k9 clips, what is the correct size inside the clip on for my bike?

They should be fine, they clamp in the tube so will fit no worries.

Ugly tho ...

These are the moto gp look proper hand guards would look wrong on my bike. Its not a scrambler. Going for the stelthy racing look..... and I am fully aware its not a sports bike lol.

Thanks Nikon you say the kindest things lol

Hmmmmm I cant decide I want them for the look but there is a practicle reason as ment in motogp supposed to stop levers digging into ground and vant see plastic stopping that???

The reason they're used in MotoGP is to stop front brakes getting stuck on in the event of fairing bashing as happened to Sete in 2006:

ABS Plastic might be up to the job, or it might bend and snap. I'd find out what the proper ones are made of.

Proper ones are made of Ali and will snap when dropped. These are around £50-£80 depends on where you buy these from. It's a requirement for all classes in BSB to have these fitted.
