I want to swap to clip ons .. just need to know what the correct size for my 01 forks?

B6 is 41mm
B12 is 43 mm

Be sure you have tank clearance!

I read somewhere that the bigger problem is clearing the fairing on S models.

I assume it depends on the clipons, but it may not work.

Click on rangerracer's link if you wanna see any details that don't show up in the smaller version below. The bikepics version is huge (2048 x 1536 pixels).

Several aftermarket vendors (Vortex comes quickly to mind), or any bike that came with clipons and has 43mm forks.

There's another ebay set here.

But the Blackbird ones in the post above are a better deal price wise and would sit a little higher for better fairing and tank clearance.

Ive looked at the pictures and I think they fasten to the forks.
But at the risk of looking stupid, what are they and what do they do.

They replace the tubular handlebars with bars that "clip on" to the fork tubes instead... the standard fare of the repli-racer bikes as well as many SPORT-tourers.

Pro Tek 43mm clip-ons on my '05 B12S. Absolutely love them, they were on the bike before it hit 50 miles as I hated the stock bar.

Those Pro Tek's look very nice!

Seems you could have accomplished the same riding position with a pair of swept drag bars - which I'm guessing would be less $$ outlay.
