forks on different bikes come in different sizes, in order to get the correct clipon fit for your bike you need to know the fork diameter as they will be made in various size options.

is there any difference between these and the ones earlier mentioned also on ebay? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2710046292...84.m1423.l2649
will this fit any bike?

rictus01 · 30-06-12, 01:45 PM

they will fit any bike with 41mm forks, but not any bike.

Cheers Mark.

Agy I don't know which other link you're refering to from the previous page, but the one a couple of posts up will fit the SV, can you quote the other link and I'll let you know if they are different.

Cheers Mark.

the difference is that one set fit as per oem and give a little more rise but still the same reach the ones i posted bring the bars further back so less reach but same hight and maybe slightly higher as oem. the reach makes all the difference as it makes you sit up more.

i know your scint but for the price of a comfort kit it's well worth it and as far as i'm concerned is the best way forward.

The ones i have and that are 70 buy it now on ebay won't need any extras other than a longer brake line. All other parts fit without extra expense. I don't know if the ones bibio linked to needs different bar ends or grips etc. I just swapped like for like with my old clipons. You may need a longer brake line as i don't need them all the way up.

may I suggest before you go spending any money, you actually find out how much rise and what reach you need, it'll save you wasting money on anything that's only partially addresses the problem.

If you don't know how, PM me and we can meet up, takes about 5 minutes to do with you in your bike kit, then you'll know exactly what you need.

Cheers Mark.
