Alright.... here we go.
I purchased a set of Woodcraft Clipons after my wreck. I put them on awhile back, but I didnt' get them on perfect. After my GPR came loose the other day YET AGAIN! (but that's a different story) I decided to adjust my clipons to try to get them "perfect" while I was in the garage. The left one was touching the frame (or damn close) when the bars were all the way to lock on the left side.
My god what a headache it turned out to be...
I've got no problem taking stuff apart and putting it together, I did it as a profession for awhile, and a hobby before that.
But as far as these clip ons go, they are driving me nuts! (along with this crappy GPR issue) Even though it should be a relatively simple task (in theory)
Obviously I need to adjust them to fit me, but as far as getting the spacing/distance right on everything and making sure all the bolts I need to tighten are accessible... what do you all suggest as far as a successful process? I'm getting frustrated with it.
(but that has alot to do with a couple of these piece of crap bolts stripping out that secure the clamps to the forks and therefore make my bike unridable until I can get some replacement bolts
