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! |

Damn. Left handed drill bit should get it out.

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

I've bought a replacement riser from discovolantemoto.co.uk
Howard the owner is a legend, I'd highly recommend his services |
