This is how i like my ninja 650 to ride:

Re: Clip-on Handlebar

Nice, is that the ER6F sir Ben? I know you all understand the handling consequences due to the body geometry changes since you're a rider, but what is your main goal in changing the handle bar position?

Yes it is also known as ER6F, I think kawasaki renamed it Ninja 650r this year.

It helps when you ride aggressively also the bike will be better in cornering.

benQ sir,

Are you by any chance one of those weekend big bikers that I usually see coming in groups , traversing the zigzags of Antipolo and heading for maybe Sampaloc area sa Tanay Rizal or Caliraya or Laguna perhaps, just curious lang po uli .

Thanks again.

Re: Clip-on Handlebar

@benq,
we hope that you are not jeopardizing your safety with the modifications especially on the handle bar. every inch, angle and weight of the handle bar has its own design purposes. i am too a mc rider 🙂

ride on! drive safely!

Re: Clip-on Handlebar

Thanks Ossie,
I will not really make so much radical change that would undermine my safety.
Clipons are already a big industry in bigbike aftermarket products.
For many years it has evolved from special custom-made item in to a full unquestionable safe product.

My project is really nothing new.

Re: Clip-on Handlebar

There are many aftermarket clipon makers for Ninja 650r.
Suburban Machinery,Vortex, and Woodcraft are some of the biggest name in motorcycle clip-ons
If i will buy it from them and just install it, that will cost me more or less 10,000 pesos including freight and customs taxes.
If i think i can copy their designs to make my own, then i would really save a lot. Besides, the satisfaction of DIY is priceless
One more enticing reason to DIY is that there is nothing of any sort like this made locally.

Here is one commercial product:

Re: Clip-on Handlebar

For someone capable of fabricating these products, benchmarking their design is really stimulating.
