I'm installing helibar clipons UNDER the top triple, and I want to know if it's just as simple as removing the bolts/loosening the ones keeping the the clamps on either side to the forks ..and then pulling it upward and having it slide off. I don't need to actually remove any wiring because the triple will never be far enough away for the ignition to be pulled on.. just need it off the fork tubes for 10 minutes.
Is this even possible without a bunch of complicated/annoying 'safety bolt' breakage on the ignition? Like can I just slide it all off together without the ignition being moved? Or will that have to come off too? Looking at the OEM diagram for the triple, it appears the ignition is just something that slips through a little ( O ) in the triple like the forks, so it should remain unmoved, yes? Or is that being held up by the triple?
basically - I want to know if this is something that someone mechanically naive(but logical and capable ..and not retarded) is going to be able to do. They are called "clip-ons" for a reason, and I think removing the throttle/grips/levers is something anyone can handle, and just switching it over to the new bars.. shouldn't be a huge deal.
Finally found a set of clipons that work.. now it's time to do the work.
