The clips ons are getting too much for the old back to cope with on long runs so it's time to change them for something a bit more comfortable... But what?
Hope it rides well Ian. I'm glad you didn't go with the Ace bars. My last 'big' bike was a TRX850. I realised I'd built myself a bike that looked fantastic but was crippling for my middle aged body! Best wishes, Dean.
hi Ian I know what you mean about the old back I'm no spring chicken my self, the a65 top yoke, from 1962/1965 and lightning clubman had the drop top yoke, part number 68/5049, and the bars bolt on forward of the steering damper and give more room for the bars to clear the tank, but not sure if they will fit the b31 it would depend on the fork stanchions diameter's and width, kind regards Adrian.

Much more comfortable although the bars are a little too wide so will probably be changing them again or shortening them.

Just seen some on ebay, yes they are very different and I do like the look of them. Like you say dimensions would be required.
Barleycorn do raised clip on's with plus 32 mm 34 mm and 35 mm lift to keep the look £120 , two to three week lead time .
