Default Clubmans on!!!

I got my helmet (Lick's NovDot) and Clubman bars this week. Last night and this am I modified the switch housings and took an inch off the end of the bars. I really like how the bike feels now and so far it still feels comfortable to me. If I can't get a good angle I may have to switch to some barend mirrors because I can't see crap outta the left one as it sits right now.

Thanks, I think I still may trim another 1-1.5 inches off of them but I'll ride it this way for a bit to see how I feel.

Very slick looking, nice job. I'm also interested in hearing your thoughts on the helmet. Looks good.

The helmet is super light and comfy. The pads on the inside feel soft but not mushy like some others I have tried on and there seems to be some good room between the helmet and the ears, possibly just enough to fit in a set of small over the ear headphones (I think it would be smarter to have them sit inside the helmet than wear ear buds completely cutting out any road sounds).I got the XL based on the measurement chart they have and I wonder based on fit if I could have got a L instead. It may be that it's just so light. I went for a short ride yesterday and didn't notice any lift created. I had originally purchased a Bell500 and it made me look like Marvin the Martian. I don't think this one looks that big.

Do you have a link for the bars or a make and model? Looks great!

Righteous. My dads Honda 750 had clubmans in the 70s when he was a student.

Looks freakin sweet!

I used to run clubmans on my Sportster. I loved them, and no one has them. I got rid of them because they just weren't good for the long rides I take which is the majority of the riding I do.
