Ducati is the pretty girl that can't walk in heels without stumbling. I still love her.

Indeed... but these ones have "down angle" adjustment on the riser... I haven't seen any quite like them.  Maybe they are an early MW design?

maybe they are MW prototypes....JK  ;D
2001 Supersport 900 Yellow!!! (she's just so much fun)
2000 Monster 750 Carb Dark!!! (Sold and still full of regrets)

If I had to guess, they were made by someone with machining skills to resemble the Motowheels ones. I personally gave thought to making my own, but Motowheels are not that expensive. I also like the SpeedyMoto tall-boys.
08' S2R 1K   That was close  damn near lost a $400 hand cart.

On the OP clip-ons, will the bar bolt on to the clamp without the riser?  I like that feature of the MW version and may consider them just for that.   It's like having two clip-ons in one.

I haven't tried that.  I might test it tonight (I assume, though that the bars are drilled in only one position).

I'm wondering how the MW version accounts for down angle?    It's either in the clamp bolt holes or in the bar.    Angle in the riser block is easy.   Just wondering about an angle without the riser.

I don't think they do.  I also think that if mine were bolted directly to the fork clamps there would be no adjustment possible.
