    cilp-ons ?

    Can anyone tell me for sure whether or not the '01 - '03 RSV (Showa) OEM clip-ons will fit and bolt to the underside of the Falco top triple clamp?

    I'm considering a Falco as a track bike and would like the lower bar height.

    Thanks

    Yes, the top clamp and fork tube assemblies are the same and the Mille Showa clip-ons will bolt on. The Falco cables and hoses may be longer though.

    You may have minor clearance issues with your fairing stay/bracket and your brake/clutch levers.

    I was using clipons from a Ducati 916 on my Falco for the track. The levers would hit bracket at full lock either side. The Mille bars are slightly higher and slightly farther back than the 916 or aftermarket clipons. Should be easier to make work and have better clearance.
