I am looking for a set of CR clubmans for my xb12scg, I was going to go for some Woodworks clip-ons but I like the way the CR bars look and feel. I'll pay up to 200$ for the bars and cables, as well as shipping both ways, Thanks! | ||

Hope I'm allowed to mention or suggest the following. Take a look at the Tomaselli adjustable clubman bars. Google it. You can dial in the ergos over a wide range. And they look great as well. I have a pair on my 04 Daytona 955i and love them. | ||

I installed the CR clubmans on my SS and you do not need anything else, I mean you can use the stock cables. Google here for pics (even of mine) to see the details of the installation. OH! Yes, I do love clubmans, more control but still quite comfortable. Gianluca | ||

Plus better fuel economy than the stock bars  | ||

No need for cables... | ||

I'll just say I'm not very "fabricative" I sort of gave fabricating up after I lost my ring finger to the radial saw in cabinet making class. So if theres a shit ton of work then I'll just see if I could pay the parts guy at Frontier HD who rides a xb9r to do it in his spare time. | ||

I am sure they would do it, wont be cheap at the hourly rate but I really like the setup. Maybe bring along some pictures for them, two main things are that the kill switch must be put on rotated forward, so instead of the switch facing the rider its facing a bit more up. I can still flick it on or off and start it with my hand as normal, just a different angle. This allows throttle cables a clear shot. Then someone said they didnt have to do any drilling for the clutch cable but I had to run it through the headlight assembly box (name?) and out a drilled hole through the left side. Also, have an open mind the first few times you ride it. After drilling into my bike and spending a hundred dollars I was pretty bummed the first time I road it. After giving it a few more tries and letting my body adjust, I am now in love with it. | ||

It was me, I did not drill the headlight assembly. I connected the clutch cable onto the lever before and installed them together onto the perch. A bit longer cable would make the whole assembly easier and relief some stress from the cable (which is a bit too bended). Gianluca | ||

I just purchased a set of the CR C;ubmasn to go on my Z1000. Boy what a PITA! But weel worth the handling afterwards!! I had to actually mount my kill switch on the inside curve of the bars. Still fully accessable too | ||

Pictures Please! | ||

I got ahold of some Lobster bars, I just have to wait till its decent enough out to put them on, when I do I'll post a pic even tho theres hundreds on here of XBs with CR clubmans. | ||
| Swordsman |
Hehe... "lobster bars"... that's funny! ~SM | ||
| X5thxgearxfreak |
Stupid question: But are the clip ons on a 1125R the same as a Firebolt? I have no idea since I've never seen a "Robster" in person.(I think the R fairing makes it look like a masked lobster thats a robber, hence the mask) But I'll wait and see how the Nephropidae clubmans work before I buy Firebolt clip ons. | ||

reportedly the forks are an RCH wider, and larger diameter. and it looks like the 'ears' are longer when side by side eachother. i got an R tripple i should set on top and snap some pics of when i get home ... | ||
| X5thxgearxfreak |
Thats what I thought, from pics I've seen the forks look a tad fatter than Firebolts, and the angling seems different as well, how about just swapping out front ends? If you could even attempt such a thing that is. I'd dig that fairing though, that would definitely help in the rain/wind. | ||

I found this picture searching:  (Stolen from Xl_Cheese) But in that thread they said you need adapters to go from stock 7/8" bars to the CR 1" bars? Those weren't mentioned anywhere in this thread... is that simply because that's a given? Or am I missing something? BTW they look amazing, and if I could find a set for cheap (like in the backroom of a dealership that swapped them off a CR) I'd love to throw them on my lightning! | ||
| Radioelasais |
yes, you need new fat risers http://www.americansportbike.com/shoponline/ccp0-p rodshow/16203.html | ||
| Delta_one |
sorry the format sucks but I hope it helps | ||
| Joel9 |
those bar clamps in the pic. are from precision engineering. a sponsor here but you can also get them american sportbike. | ||
| Delta_one |
so are mine in the video. the picture are the slim line and mine are the standard. great quality product but I was un happy with the anodized finish. (I think it was outsourced) | ||
| X5thxgearxfreak |
So its not as easy as just swapping the bars? So the risers are a MUST before even attempting a swap? | ||
| Ducbsa |
Yes, the clamps are for 7/8" and the bars are 1-1/8". | ||
| Delta_one |
yes or you can use some other clubmans that are standard diameter. CR bars are fatties | ||
| Delta_one |
darn it! Ducbsa beat me to it. lol | ||
| X5thxgearxfreak |
Well I'm glad I know that now, I would've been outside for hours wondering why in the hell they wouldn't fit. I should buy a second set of clubmans to put on my RSV4, I think that'd look pretty neat, it'd probably need a hell of alot of fabricating but it would be neat. | ||
| Mikef5000 |
yes or you can use some other clubmans that are standard diameter. Like these!   Anyone with the CR bars care to do some quick measuring for me? | ||
| Delta_one |
those look just like a set I go off of eBay not long ago. the angle is different and if they are the eBay ones I had his measurements are off too. but bike masters (I think that what my old ones are)fit just fine after you add risers. | ||

| X5thxgearxfreak |
Delta, they make those in a matte black finish? Same for the risers? How much cable adjustment was needed? | ||
| Delta_one |
I don't think there is a matte black but thats just a powder coat or rattle can away. the risers in the pic are 'el cheep'o style, 4 1"spacers and 4 washers with an extra top clamp. I later installed a precision engineering 2.5" riser. they offer black but I wasn't happy with the black on my fat bar riser so I wouldn't recommend it; it turned kinda purple in about a week. |
