My 01 monster has about 1 1/8 in of fork sticking up through the triple. Anyone know if there are clip ons that I can mount above the triple without having to move the forks up or down? I tried a set of Drivens* but the clamp height was too large and went above the top of the fork legs.


*now in the "parts for sale" forum...

Consider something like this?

You can mount them under the triple, but they aren't going to break your back.  Triple take all of 2 minutes and a rubber mallet to get off.  Plus you can move them up and down under the triple to achieve desired height.  I have them on my S4R and love them.

Not my bike, but gives you an idea...

i think you may be hard pressed to find something that narrow.
apex mfg bars seem to have a nice, narrow mounting bracket, but even that is about 1.75"...

i have woodcrafts with a 2.5" rise under my triple, works like a charm.

I actually just ordered a set from apex. The person I talked to said the clamp height is 1.25" for the standard clip ons, 1.125" for the risers. I thought I saw a pic of someone's monster here that had the clip ons mounted above the triple.

That's pretty old - a lot of those clipons aren't readily available any more.

For the OP, I've got Woodcraft zero rise clipons above the triple  They're not quite as wide as your driven ones.  I had to drop the front end a few millimetres to make it work, but I reckon that's improved the handling of the bike.

Thanks for all the help.  [beer]

Just sold my driven clip ons and my apex clip ons are getting delivered today.

How did the Apex clip-ons work out?

I have a '01 900S and I'm in the similar situation.  I have about 17mm above the top triple and only about 20mm below that is machined to 50mm diameter and then it starts to radius up to a larger diameter.  I am not sure if this is because I have an "S" version with the adjustable forks or what.  It seems like either way (above or below the triple) I will need to slide the forks up or down.  I'm leaning toward the Motowheels http://motowheels.com/i-6922767-mw-billet-clip-ons-w-risers-monster.html due to the narrow (19mm) mounting bracket and sliding my forks up 2-3mm and mounting them above the triple.  The Woodcraft and other riser clip-ons have wide brackets that would make me slide my fork tubes down significantly to make enough space below the triple and I don't think I want to change the geometry in that direction.

They work well for me. The clamp height is 1.125 inches or 28.6mm and I mount them above the triple. The bike handles fine. They have the same clamp height as the clip-ons I had before which were silver Ducabike clip-ons like these:
