View Full Version : New clip-ons, Awesome! Snapped bolt, ****!

Got a new set of Tarozzi high clip-ons for my 650x and they are perfect!

They still kinda-ish maintain the cafe look but having my hands further apart and a bit more up right makes cornering much more fun!

Annoyingly whilst my lovely (**** face) 2year distracted me, I sheered one of the pinch bolts that holds the handlebar tube. I kept my cool and quickly convinced myself that the mechanical pinch of one bolt would suffice until I dared drill the snapped bolt out. Likely hood is it'll end up being drilled right out and re-tapped.

A slight lapse in concentration and monkey boy starts swinging on the wrench!

Yeah cheers man, gona nip out in the morning and buy HSS drill bit, got left handed tap which should do the job. Went on a 15min spin and nothings moved so seems solid

Best to have two holding it... in case one fails.
