Vortex Clip Ons are machined from solid billet aluminum with a removable handlebar. In the event of a crash, you simply replace the handlebar tube instead of the entire handlebar. This listing is for the Clip Ons set at a 7 DEGREE angle, giving racers and street riders the ultimate position for rider comfort and leverage. Stainless steel fasteners and delrin plastic ends add the finishing touches.

Damn pulling the top tree was way easier than I thought. I figured it would expose bearings and shit and the bottom tree would would fall out aswell. Thanks for the video Brian! Always learning from you.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You are welcome and thank you for watching. - Van

[@HemiBurns]

Excellent...Like the new intro also...

Thanks for watching! Max is pretty pumped to be in the intro for sure. - Brian Van

Hey Bryan, i have a tip for mounting the top clamp. I saw you had to push hard and smash it with the palm of your hands. Perhaps not good for the threads on the steering stem. If you stand on front of the bike, you can push your shin against the front wheel. Push just a little bit and the left and right fork will align with the steering stem. With just minor effort the top clamp just falls in position.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

The top clamp is much softer than the threads on the steering stem. I have done this 1,000 times, zero issues. - Van

[@blackberrybadness]

I never knew you owned a torque wrench. Lol. Great vid !!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I have had them for years, not even sure why I decided to pull them out to be honest. Just felt like switching it up a little. - Van

I just bought this item from you guys, STG should set up a store in Australia! I'm putting my hand up now to race the STG Australian project bike on your behalf :P

Hi, are the vortex clip-ons are longer than the OEM handlebar on my Kawasaki zx10r 2017?!

[@cobaltss0720]

Why not remove the locating tab on the button pods. Makes changing out bars in the event of an off, a lot easier.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I did not do this because you should not do this on a bike with the start / stop switch pod that is part of the throttle assembly like the stock throttle on this GSXR 1000. If you cut the tab off on the throttle they will end up rotating on the tube which is not great. If you have a throttle like the Motion Pro REV2 that does not have a locating tab that clamps on the bar there is no need to drill. If I were not doing this as an install video I would (on my own bike) grind off the tab on the clutch side switch pod and not drill the bar. On the throttle side I would still drill a hole if I was running a stock throttle with an integrated switch pod. All that said if the bars do not need to be drilled it makes replacing the bar easier to do for sure. Thanks for contributing! - Brian Van

[@cobaltss0720]

@@sportbiketrackgear absolutely and makes sense on the throttle side with the OE throttle setup. Thanks!

[@zachkuby87]

Hey van. Old video i know. But can you pull the plugs from the end of these clip ons for use with aftermarket bar end weights and mirrors? I'm wanting to ditch the stock bars on my 17gsxr1000r but i use a bar end mirror for street riding.

[@zachkuby87]

Should've watched the video first. Haha answered my own question. Disregard. Thanks!!

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Yes the plastic bar ends can be removed to use other options. - Van

[@elonmust7470]

@sportbiketrackgear Indeed. My throttle hand is always trying to migrate to the very end of the bar. Not sure if it's skelatal or a muscular, thing or what. I do know that it's a bad thing in a lowside because, of my mangled ring & little fingers... Got any installation videos covering control buttons for race bikes? Thanks!

[@Smilldon]

I bought a bike with these clip on and on the end where that rounded part is, if I take that off is there threads on the end to thread in lever protectors?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

If you remove the plug on the end of the clip on tube you will find a hollow tube. If you want to use a lever protector there are several styles available which will install into the hollow end of the bar. Here is a link where you can view some of them on our site: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/parts/suzuki/gsx-r1000/2019/?_bc_fsnf=1&Department=Handlebars+and+Grips This link includes lever guards, clip ons and grips so you will have to scroll around a bit. If you need any further help please shoot an email to [e-mail]. - Van

[@juicer404]

is there any use with clearance for body work on road bike gsxr 1000 2017? had problem with renthal on k5 1000 years ago

[@sportbiketrackgear]

You can install a standard set of clip ons without any issues (no riser or zero offset). - Van

[@PLVC3BO]

Pardon my ignorance, but why is it necessary to drill the left-hand clip-on for the switch module? Doesn't the switch module already have screws to tight it on the clip-on handle?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

There is a locator pin built into the switch pod that needs to have a hole to slide into when you tighten the screws up. - Van

[@PLVC3BO]

@@sportbiketrackgear Yes thanks! I noticed when I took mine apart.

[@warmech2125]

Okay so I’m 6’2 on a 15 R1 and it feels like I should have my clips ons a little higher. Any suggestions Van.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

This bike is a tough one to install risers on without running into clearance issues. I would recommend using the measurement chart for riser clip ons in this link: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/product_images/product_pdf/Woodcraft-How-To-Measure-for-Riser-Clip-on.pdf If you decide to install a set on your bike this is a project, not some super easy direct fit bolt on. We offer the Apex Adjustable Riser Clips Ons that have adjustable rise. With these you can install them and work to get the maximum rise before running into clearance issues. Once again this is not a direct fit part, patience and creativity are required. www.sportbiketrackgear.com/apex-3-adjustable-riser-clip-ons/ - Brian Van

[@sportbiketrackgear]

Here is another option from Helibars that will be a direct fit: www.sportbiketrackgear.com/helibars-yamaha-yzf-r1-15-18-tracstar-risers/ - Brian Van

[@FrankTheGonzalez]

@sportbiketrackgear couldn't you put the brake reservoir on the top of the bolt instead of the bottom?

[@ignacioramosjr6367]

How much does it usually cost to have this done at a shop? I have a '05 ZX6R 636 and I'm damn near in full tuck mode just riding normally (I'm a short rider). I bought some Woodcraft riser clip-ons a while back, but would rather have it done professionally.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

I would expect to pay somewhere between 1-2 labor hours for this job. - Van

[@punkiztah0309871]

Hi Van! What is the right size or diameter for the 2015 suzuki gsxr 750? What is the difference between -0 degree and -7 degree? I want a more aggressive and more tuck position on the track without having issues with the handlebar hitting the fairing or windshield.

[@sportbiketrackgear]

For the GSXR750 you will need 50mm clip ons. I would go with the 7 degree kit, this is the most natural angle IMO and the most commonly used. Installing these on the 750 you should not have any issues with the windscreen or bodywork. - Van

Silly question, you don't need bar ends?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

These include plastic bar ends (like most other aftermarket clip ons) that we installed into the tubes. If you prefer you could leave them out and install a set of bar ends like the Driven we had on the OEM clip ons or a set of Vortex. - Van

Brian how necessary is it to remove the front fairing for this install?

[@sportbiketrackgear]

No you do not need to remove it. We were doing a couple projects at one time which is why I removed the bodywork on my bike. The Woodcraft keyswitch eliminator was the other part we were doing at the same time that requires removal of the bodywork. - Van
