Is it worth the time and money to install clip ons?
Or should I leave the stock bars?
I am looking for a sporty look, but don't want any serious complications with the bike as far as rubbing etc etc

Anyone have clip ons installed? Or some insight?

You may be able to go with lower bar risers, but I don't think you could go to a true clip-on (below the top triple clamp) without hitting the fairing.

YES, it's more then worth the money, if you go with Woodcrafts and also take the riser spacer from them.
My clip ons now are 15 mm above the upper triple clamp and 30 mm in the front of it. With this setup the bike feels absolute great.
For not touching the fairings I use this: BEET : Universal Handle stopperKit [0681-K00-01]
But I'd need to cut it by 3 mm, so it'll fit better and doesn't limit so much (excuse me for my english, I hope you understand what I'm talking about).
Please take a look at the pictures.

Hey, thanks for the replies folks!

Thank you for the information and pictures.
I am curious about the stopper you mentioned.
How will that affect my steering? Is there any noticeable change when riding/turning from a stop? ( like at a red light?)

You don't feel a change in steering when you're riding, so it doesn't affect your steering in a negative way. I thought about this before too.
On my way I have a curve with app. 110 degree and there's no difference to before. You never turn the the steering that much or to the end.
Only when I'm at home and put her in her parking place it takes longer because of the limited steering.
Good luck. :thumb:
