It’s not my first time drilling holes in bars but I searched hoping I would find a better way of lining up the holes properly before drilling. The electrical tape trick is cheap and genius. Thanks for sharing!

Just a tip... A side view of the ergonomics would be nice

It’s good to see a tutorial for this Just wish you had directly compared the seating position between them

It’s not a big difference unless you install them with the spacers in the lower position. The way we installed these does feel lower but in the pictures we took you almost can’t see the difference

Did you get the XL bars?

What phone mount you use with these ?

Awesome video, any long term opinions? I want a more tucked Highway riding position without being in a “push-up” position. Currently have the Protaper steering damper low bars. They are lower but wide AF

Are the new bars threaded for the old bar ends? I know you drilled them out for aftermarket ones but I might want to use stock ones.

Did you not have any trouble with the throttle cable when turning the bars to the right? I installed these today and the throttle snags.

No issues that I remember. You can try rotating the bar up or down slightly to see if either direction gives the cable more slack. You definitely don’t want it to bind

Without adding the spacers and flipping the adapter plate to get the Woodcrafts lower, they are pretty close as far as height. The Woodcrafts are a little more forward though.

Did you have to use a drill press to drill the holes or can you use a regular drill?

Hair dryer to heat it up and then peel it off slowly

i don’t see the point, usually the point of having clipons in stead of a single bar is the fact the you can pivot them independently but this looks like it lock everything into place just like a single bar and i’m shore it pricy and you don’t have the option to rotate the bar towed or away from you like a single bar would.

Another option to drilling holes in the bars is to just grind the pins down on the controls.

o cosa metti o bischero

This thing i don't get is: Why someone would buy an MT-09 if they want a sportier riding position. A Street Trippel 765R/765RS will be a better overall bike for almost the same price as all the MT-09 + all the mods...

@MotoSouth

It's a better riding position for track days. Plus it's cheaper to replace one side if you have a track incident and don't damage both. I have the ProTapers on my bike which suit me but some just like the MT with an even lower bar.

From my point of view I want to be farther forward with the bars just to load my wrists a little more. When highway riding the stock seating position lets your chest act like a sail, I'm using my stomach, hip flexors and grip to stay on the bike. A more forward lean would make it a more neutral ride.

@@user-fe5bi7ul4t mt09 is definitely better for the streets. I own a mt10 and a 2018 rsv4. The rsv4 only gets use when im specifically going out to hit the back roads or im trailering it to the track for the weekend. Most 600cc aren't great for everyday riding but to me its more the seating position that kills it. My old daytona 675r had plenty of torque for the streets. The 636 and the M/V f3 also has grunt in the lower revs. Leaning over riding around town is what kills those bikes plus tall gearing which can be fixed. This is why naked bikes have became more popular over the past 10 to 15 yrs.
