Apex bars

[6R Blackout]

I haven't seen or heard from any of the guys on here that were supposed to change there handle bars to the Apex adjustable clip-ons. If anyone has done it I sure would like to get some feedback. I am thinking of doing it myself but I want to see of some of you all had done it yet. My reason for asking is I was browsing through the forum and came across this thread about the clip ons and I haven't seen anything yet. Hope to get some feed back and maybe some pics on how it came out. Well I guess no one has gotten there apex bar mods done I am still hopefull that when someone does that they will be exstatic and post the pics and rave about how great they are. I am just waiting for someone to write about it and then I will follow. I know more than one person has posted that they ordered them, I guess its just a matter of time. Thanks:don'tknow:

I will be doing this mod under the triple. Unfortunately apex has been on backorder for the ones I need until mid January. As soon as they come in and put on, I will post pictures. Sucks I have to wait so long. They were supposed to be here back in Oct.

You might want to edit your post to say "Sis" instead of "Bro" since DakineChick is a lady and all....:thumbup:

My Apex:

Dude, the installation is VERY difficult to be made up by someone skilled! In our bike is impossible to make most adjustments possible, but the driving position remains comfortable. If you do not care for it and enjoy a more sporty is perhaps more interesting to buy the Woodcraft. I owe a video of my bike for the guys.

Hey man thanks for the post, I saw your original post and that is why I asked if anyone in the US has done it. I wanted to know if they could be mounted underneath instead of on top. If they can go underneath I will probably do it to my bike. Oh by the way, NICE BIKE MAN!!!!! Looks very cool. Smoking man :smoking:

Ha, I just saw this post. But it's no big deal.

Hunter I will not be putting them on myself, I have some guy buddies who will. (Thank God). Will take pictures while being installed. I will let you know how it handles since it will be quite a bit different. Will be more of a sport bike stance which I want.

How thick are the base clamps? Or how much does the fork have to be lowered by to accommodate these clip ons on top of the triple?

I measured the distance between _under_ the triple to the bottom of the stock handle bar and it was exactly 3". So for those wanting to install under the triple and do not want to lower the stock grip height (to clear the fairing) would be inclined to purchase the Woodcraft 3" Riser Clip Ons - this is assuming the Woodcraft stalk measures 3" from the top of the base clamp to the bottom of the actual handle.

The Apex Riser Clip Ons, on the other hand has an overall 6" potential rise for adjustment which would be ideal so it can be lowered or raised based on clearance and preference. Again this is assuming that 6" is the distance between the top of the base clamp and bottom of the handle.

I suppose the Woodcraft can be slid up and down the suspension under the triple as well but does not offer the same range of adjustment as the Apex riser wise - they are both the same price too!

I'm going to contact both manufacturers to ask them the height of the base clamp today and we'll see what they say.

Update:
Both companies wrote back and this is what each of them said.

Woodcraft - 38mm or 1.5"

Apex - 32mm or 1.25"

This means, the front forks would have to be dropped the amount shown above if you install the clamps above the triple.

So sorry guys! Seems like a lot of you are wanting to see the deal with these bars as am I.

Unfortunately, they keep getting pushed back. They were on backorder in November when I ordered them and every month they call and say they will be on backorder another 4 weeks. This has happened repeatedly, obviously. They now say they will be here the middle of March. We'll see. That's the update as of yesterday when I talked to them. If they get pushed back one more time, though, I think I may just say forget it.

I kind of want a Ducati anyway.

Bars came in yesterday! But, if you saw my other post I may be withdrawing from this project. I, uh, have been thinking about selling this bike. But, I may not be "allowed" to get another one, so we will see! I am just afraid of the resell value if I do put on the clip ons. I'm kind of stuck right now in the decision aspect of all of this. Don't be too discouraged though...I still may do it. Just waiting for my Pneumonia to be gone.

Hey let me know what your going to do. I may be very very interested in buying them. Depends on what they cost an how soon my tax return gets in.
