    Handle Bar Conversion

    If I do a handle bar conversion (Tuono style) do you need to alter the fairing at all.
    Won't do it if I have to start chopping the bodywork around.
    Regards
    Mike

    I can confirm you have to cut the fairing

    Half way house is to put your clipons over the triple. Wont be as high but that's about the most you can achieve without getting out the hacksaw

    What about the geometry when putting clipons over the triple?

    No problem. Sharpens up the steering but only once have I felt a slight tremble in the bars but no where near a slapper. Got the rear Ohlins in the middle though
