Bobber Clip Ons Yes Or No?

Clip ons?
Bobber black?
Why?
......nah

 

Glad you 2 guys got there first, didnt wanna look a sad old git.
Lol
Just think wtf . It's like ape hangers on a fireblade. Naaaaa.

 

No, no and thrice no!

 

Reporting to the taste police as i type! i have heard of some daft ideas but ....... bit like this guy..

 

oh shit, you found that pic of me, lol

 

if it's what you like go for it,although with the seating position on the Bobber I'm not sure how comfortable it would be..you could always to back to the original bars if you didn't get on with it

 

it would be good if you could get a good test ride rather than just a few miles, if you are going to be using your bike for short runs only it might be comfortable enough, but it might be different if you're on the bike all day or if you will be doing some touring?

 

Buy a cafe racer

 

Good god I wouldn’t want to ride that very far and as for going round a roundabout/tight bend

 

I followed a guy on a 18 plate bobber on the A49 a couple of weeks ago. Took me a while to figure out what it was until I stopped alongside him at the lights. Riding did look a bit cramped, but he seem to cope with it in the twisties. Not for me, but each to his own...

When I bought my Bobber, the dealership had one. I didn't like the riding position, but that's just me. I'm thinking you'll find that people love them or hate them. I have 16 inch ape hangers on my Indian Chief, and people will just about want to fight me over how stupid ape hangers are. To me, they take me back to the time when I was a kid and had a bicycle with similar handlebars. I really don't give hoot what anybody thinks of them.
In the end, if clip ons make you happy, get them.

 

I like it ... each to their own.

 

The bike looks ok parked up, but the pegs-seat-bars dimensions would make it a very uncomfortable riding experience for me.
Like doing yoga on a bike?

 

Hmmmmm

Look at it like this.....



The ultimate of form over function. What looks good in the Urban Biker Cafe and what gives you control of your extremities on the street are not necessarily the same. You’re gonna stick out.......

 

And, yes Dilli, it’s Newcastle......

 

They look great and they handle great round the twisties but its like riding a medieval rack after 50+ miles.
