Vortex clipons, 45mm

[Jahmic726]

EDIT: Big mistake on my part guys...I listed the incorrect size for some reason. I came back to read the post and realized it was incorrect as I was cross-referencing sizes. These ARE 45mm clipons.

I just took these off the race bike since I did a front end swap. I know they will definately fit an 03-04 600rr...they will also fit bikes with 45mm upper fork tubes. Dunno how many people here would be interested, but figured I might as well most them up since I have them listed elsewhere.

I will include the brackets and a set of tubes. The brackets themselves are in excellent condition. The tubes were used so they have a little residue left on them from securing the grips. One tube is slightly bent...didn't even notice until I took it off the bike and rolled it across the floor to check it out. Holding it up against the wall and looking for the tell-tale gap...I'd say its off by about 1-2mm at the end. On this same tube, there is also some marring from where the starter assembly was tightened down. so for that one tube...replace it or just run it...your choice.

price: 70.00

99-04 R6 uses a 43mm clip on too.

damn what size is my gsxr 600? they are smaller than the 750/1k because they don't have inverted forks.

due to my error...this post is now N/A

and...your next post points out that these are one of the "odd sizes", haha

most are 43mm. inverted are usually 50mm. there are a few odds and ends out there like the 45mm bikes.

What does the '04-'05 gixer use??

50mm...

I am getting ready to post up a list of bikes that these should fit

Sorry liquid...because I misposted that info, these clipons will in fact fit your bike. Shorty's info and this link both say that your bike is 45mm...so I'd say its a safe purchase. Since you were the first to show interest...I'll give you "dibs" if you want them

if you sent a pm i did not get it - got your phone call of course. the only issue i see here is no provision to mount my master cylinder...

[The Arsenal]

The M/C and brake lever mount like every other bike...to the tube.

[liquid_iq]

so you drill a hole in the tube? the honda's mc i attached so it doesn't need a separate mount.

[The Arsenal]

You tighten 2 bolts and the mount is a clamp style mount that secures it in place.
You do have to drill a hole for the kill switch assy. to stay in place when
mounted and also you need to mount the brake res. somewhere.
I mounted mine right to the tube since the rubber hose is so short.
Drilled and tapped a hole.

The MC/Brake lever are all one piece on the GSXR.

yea I called instead of sending a pm...internet was acting up on me.

not really sure how they assembly goes on the gsxr...but what arsenal mentioned applies to my bike as well...the lever and cylinder are one piece that's simply held on by a clamp. I know on some bikes the tube does need to be tapped for the kill switch. Pretty sure mine "may" have needed to be tapped...I didnt really check. I just wrapped a couple layers of electrical tape around the tube, put the switch assembly over that (it's 2 pieces) then torqued down the 2 screws...the tape provided enough grip to keep the assembly from moving at all.

I'll make sure I remember to pick up some batteries tomorrow so I can get these pics up.

my mc mounts with a screw into the clip on mount part, no clamp.

[The Arsenal]

03' 600 right?
Its the same thing as mine.

ok i should clarify - mc reservoir.

[ShortyR6]

ok i should clarify - mc reservoir.

just leave it loose, or run a zip tie to keep it from flopping around.

mine is the same way, it just sits there and is not tied to anything.

[The Arsenal]

Drill and Tap.
Just mount it just like the way your stock is now. You can even use the same bolt.
You have to shave the bracket a little so it sits flush on the tube.
Youll see what I mean when you look at.

in the last pic, the tube on the bottom is bent...you can just see the slight bend at the end of it, as well as the gap between the 2 tubes.
