Ain’t nothing gonna happen until I have a cup of Joe.

The beast left me stranded today. Went to shift into sixth gear and felt as thou it was half way in between. Attempted to shift down but even though it felt like it went through gear it was not moving. Fingers crossed it is something clutch related and not the transmission.

Ok well I bleed the clutch and there wasn’t any air in the lines. Next I took apart the slipper clutch and it appeared the clutch may have slipped and stuck in place. I then cleaned everything and made sure all was in tolerance and installed correctly. Problem solved for now hopefully this doesn’t happen again. No way I would have all the tools on me at the time to do this on the side of the road.

Got some pretty nice clip-ons coming in from the UK. I finally gave into the urge to replace the handle bars for a lower profile. I am pretty sure it will look better, but hope that it doesn’t come at the price of comfort. May take a little while for them to get here but I’ll post some pics when I get them on.

Interested to her how this goes. I just replaced the handlebar clamp on my 796 for a lower one off a 1200S.
If I change again it'll be for clip-ons. But I have no idea what to look for: 2-piece, straight, 7-degree, risers, etc...

hate to say it but you’re going to hate them. I give you two months before changing back. I had a similar set of clipons made by woodcraft and at 6’1/185cm (I have a longer upper torso), I couldn’t deal with the excessive forward lean. I found a set of Convertibar clipons which solved all my issues due to all the adjustments they provided. And what I meanby forward lean is that the bars are in front of the fork leg. Good luck!

The clip-ons were a little struggle to set up ergonomically, but after hours of moving things around I got them fitted to my liking. I am pleased I went with the brand STP race products. They are similar to the renthal clip ons with the adjustment markings but for half the price and all the quality.

Looks tidy.

I finally got back home after 3 months of being away and tested out the clip ons. I was a little worried it would be uncomfortable but I actually prefer this over sitting up straight. Maybe it works for me since I’m 6’2” with long arms. Could also help that I have adjustable rearsets as well.

Added just a little bit of wind diversion. It is more minimal then the last headlight fairing. I also had this same one on my previous cafe racer build.

Finally got a sound clip for your enjoyment.

 

[Bushyeyed1]

Had to put my stock turn signals and tail light back on to pass the Hawaii annual inspection and decided to leave on the bars for now. Ended up getting some bar end mirrors and replaced the clamp to delete the mirror mount. Also ended up putting on the black foot pegs that came with the rearsets. I’ll try and get a few better photos the next time I find a scenic spot.

Well may not be putting the clip-ons back on for a while now. I would have to figure out another mount without the bars if I do.

 

[Bushyeyed1]

Nice work so far. Don't forget to upload the sound clip.

Thanks; if you scroll up a few there is a walk around video with sound clip.

Been out of town for a while and realized I never posted the new brake and clutch fluid reservoirs. I’m thinking about throwing the clip-ons back on since I won’t have to worry about turn signals for inspections soon. I believe the clip ons with the bar end mirrors and new reservoirs will give it the look it needs.

I have the same headlight. How did you connect the blinkers? There is only one wire per side and no ground wire, correct?
