It’s not my first time drilling holes in bars but I searched hoping I would find a better way of lining up the holes properly before drilling. The electrical tape trick is cheap and genius. Thanks for sharing!

[@nelson5743]

Just a tip... A side view of the ergonomics would be nice

[@chincemagnet]

It’s good to see a tutorial for this Just wish you had directly compared the seating position between them

[@MotoSouth]

It’s not a big difference unless you install them with the spacers in the lower position. The way we installed these does feel lower but in the pictures we took you almost can’t see the difference

[@CreepyLemon25]

The pro taper fits the mt09 better. But the clip.ons are not bad thou, theyre just not my thing. Kudos to both bikes and u sir, great vid!

[@EtaParseids]

First! Also, LOVE your videos. I'm currently saving up to get an MT-09 as my second bike and your guides always keep my hype levels high

[@MotoSouth]

Thanks for watching!

[@VivalaGhost]

I'm also saving up for an MT09 as my second bike haha. Next year it'll be mine 😎

[@MotoSouth]

Great bike! You'll love it

[@sonoftheserpent.8704]

can these work on mt 03?

[@DRock2k6]

Blew my mind when you used the air to get the grip off, never would have thought of that. Great video as usual!

[@MotoSouth]

Takes a little time but it usually works without damaging the grip.

[@greenmachine900]

Lol I saw the title and had 2 thought. First was no way that's for his bike, right?!? Second was if so I'll take dibs on the protapers lol. Another quality informative video man.

[@MotoSouth]

Lol, almost had you fooled

[@greenmachine900]

@@MotoSouth haha, how's your buddy like it so far?

[@MotoSouth]

@@greenmachine900 he likes it. He may even add the spacers so he can flip the adapter plate and go a little lower.

[@antonioromero6934]

Que mejoras tiene ese tipo de manillar respecto al de serie? No habría que retrasar estriberas ya que baja la postura??

[@TristanMilanG]

What size if drillbit you used for the bar end ?

[@gnarlykook287]

Cool video. Can’t wait to get my MT09!

[@MotoSouth]

It's a fun bike, you'll love it.

[@traskabraska]

excellent, excellent tutorial! thanks!!

[@ronhu6035]

Would have been nice if you sad on the bike before and after, but at least after so we can see how your sitting orientation is.

[@MotoSouth]

The thumbnail is the after position. We did take a before picture as well but it's hard to see a difference. You'll definitely feel it though.

[@KotaRidez]

Did you have to use a drill press to drill the holes or can you use a regular drill?

[@MotoSouth]

If you’re careful and center punch the holes, a drill should work fine

[@sensoryamusiaAU]

Did you not have any trouble with the throttle cable when turning the bars to the right? I installed these today and the throttle snags.

[@MotoSouth]

No issues that I remember. You can try rotating the bar up or down slightly to see if either direction gives the cable more slack. You definitely don’t want it to bind

[@hiepta2076]

Are the new bars threaded for the old bar ends? I know you drilled them out for aftermarket ones but I might want to use stock ones.

[@MotoSouth]

I used the stock bar ends.

[@Echo4Yankee]

Every time I see an MT-09 with clips on it just looks goofy af to me.

[@Moreymoto]

why not just buy a sport bike the whole point of a naked is the seating position

[@MotoSouth]

I guess there are some who prefer the look of a clip on style bar. In the configuration we set his up, it’s not much lower than stock.

[@bigfhands]

i don’t see the point, usually the point of having clipons in stead of a single bar is the fact the you can pivot them independently but this looks like it lock everything into place just like a single bar and i’m shore it pricy and you don’t have the option to rotate the bar towed or away from you like a single bar would.

[@DL-sy5fv]

What did u use to cover the mirror mounting holes?

[@RapidRedRider]

He used plastic nails or rivets whatever you want to call them. He cut them a bit shorter. I bought the set of blank screws online to plug my mirror holes but I think his idea looks better

[@586008]

Could you do a demo video of attaching handguards on the MT 09?

[@MotoSouth]

I would consider it. What brands are you thinking of?

[@CreepyLemon25]

I have the same request as well. Pls pls! Will be waiting for it 😁

[@CreepyLemon25]

@@MotoSouth please 😊

[@586008]

@@MotoSouth Barkbusters are probably the most common ones, the strongest ones too.

[@tantojutsuninpo]

Awesome video, any long term opinions? I want a more tucked Highway riding position without being in a “push-up” position. Currently have the Protaper steering damper low bars. They are lower but wide AF

[@MotoSouth]

I have the ProTapers on my bike as well. This install was done on a friend’s bike so I can’t comment on the position long term but I can tell you that in the position we installed his it doesn’t feel much different than my ProTapers.

[@visualatoz]

Hi I need help if you can I have Suzuki 2020 GSXS 750 I’m looking for clip ons What do you recommend

[@nicosasuman674]

Hey there, was wondering how you installed your bar ends? Got some exactly like yours and cant seem to figure them out 😵

[@MotoSouth]

Need to do a little grinding to allow them to fit.

[@nicosasuman674]

MotoSouth im gonna try putting a stopper between the bar end and the bar itself maybe that’ll work

[@roberthealy1814]

Where is your shop located? You do excellent work.

[@James-qq2vq]

What size drill bits did you use?

[@MotoSouth]

I’ll need to size them up when I get a chance. I have a standard bit set and just used the holes in the factory bars to determine the size

[@marcinp8132]

Hi cool video as always, QUESTION, link to sticker on your front fender please.

[@MotoSouth]

[@MrApmech]

Another option to drilling holes in the bars is to just grind the pins down on the controls.

[@FRob911]

whats the position difference between clip ons and the protaper? Considering one of those...thanks

[@MotoSouth]

Without adding the spacers and flipping the adapter plate to get the Woodcrafts lower, they are pretty close as far as height. The Woodcrafts are a little more forward though.

[@jdmstreetmonstavanquishcli5983]

I know I may be late to this video but.. does anyone know if you can run a stabilizer with this set up?

[@MotoSouth]

May need to check with Woodcraft on that one. I would think you could but I’m not sure.

[@jdmstreetmonstavanquishcli5983]

@@MotoSouth thank you bud I’ll fact checking it and look around🤝

[@Champion2Manager]

Hey would you say it’s safe to add a damper stabilizer after installing the woodcraft bars on the FZ09/MT09?

[@MotoSouth]

Probably best to contact Woodcraft about that, but I have seen it done so I know it’s an option

[@Champion2Manager]

@@MotoSouth sure I will ! Thanks :) very good video !

[@mt15lovermodification55]

Woodcraft fit on mt 15

[@Johalmoto]

What phone mount you use with these ?

[@waterborne4072]

Did you get the XL bars?

[@maverick1169]

What mirror mount are those? Can’t seem to find one that fits the woodcraft.

[@MotoSouth]

They are the ones that came with the MZS mirrors. You will need to enlarge the opening for them to fit. amzn.to/2JAz5JU

[@sonoftheserpent.8704]

can these clip ons work on mt 03? Im not sure..

[@MotoSouth]

Doesn’t look like they are available for that model as of now.

[@SmokysRides]

You are near Lafayette? Do you have a shop?

[@MotoSouth]

I’m a couple of hours from there. I just work on my bikes in my garage

[@RahulProduction]

Is it compatible with mt15 also

[@MotoSouth]

You would have to contact Woodcraft about that. My guess would be no.

[@cutesailor007]

which one is better clip on or stock

[@MotoSouth]

Whichever ones work best for you. I like being a little more upright so bars work best for me but if I were doing track days I’d probably go with the clip-ons.

[@santiagocordero2378]

Can you install those clip ons to a mt07?

[@MotoSouth]

They do make them for the MT07 as well 👍

[@uallacecarlos3933]

Congratulations very cool. Give a tip on how to remove the safety sticker from the motorcycle tank.

[@MotoSouth]

Hair dryer to heat it up and then peel it off slowly

[@Roy_Godiksen]

This thing i don't get is: Why someone would buy an MT-09 if they want a sportier riding position. A Street Trippel 765R/765RS will be a better overall bike for almost the same price as all the MT-09 + all the mods...

[@MotoSouth]

It's a better riding position for track days. Plus it's cheaper to replace one side if you have a track incident and don't damage both. I have the ProTapers on my bike which suit me but some just like the MT with an even lower bar.

[@Roy_Godiksen]

@@MotoSouth Fair enough.

[@stevebenson8960]

Roy if you don't like the MT-09 don't watch the video or compare it to a stripple. I had a Stripple 765R and was not enjoyable (boring like ketchup) but this is my opinion and you don't have to like it. Just like I think your opinion is stupid find something else to do

[@travisshrey6720]

From my point of view I want to be farther forward with the bars just to load my wrists a little more. When highway riding the stock seating position lets your chest act like a sail, I'm using my stomach, hip flexors and grip to stay on the bike. A more forward lean would make it a more neutral ride.

[@AyushSingh-qn6tz]

Maybe for the love of yamaha and that super good street naked look

[@mariotarantino8877]

o cosa metti o bischero

[@James-qq2vq]

yeah I ordered this kit with a 10 mm spacers and they couldn't even send me bolts that were long enough absolutely fucking unprofessional....

[@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen]

why🤦🏽‍♂️?? trade that thing in for a R6 or gsxr750. this is like wearing socks with sandals 😂

[@user-fe5bi7ul4t]

Nah 600cc feels like a moped at low speeds. Could never own one unless I go to the track often. But ima have this MT09 SP til hi hits 30k miles. Shred through a rear tire every 4 days riding or so.

[@UnburdenedByWhatHasBeen]

@@user-fe5bi7ul4t mt09 is definitely better for the streets. I own a mt10 and a 2018 rsv4. The rsv4 only gets use when im specifically going out to hit the back roads or im trailering it to the track for the weekend. Most 600cc aren't great for everyday riding but to me its more the seating position that kills it. My old daytona 675r had plenty of torque for the streets. The 636 and the M/V f3 also has grunt in the lower revs. Leaning over riding around town is what kills those bikes plus tall gearing which can be fixed. This is why naked bikes have became more popular over the past 10 to 15 yrs.
