Next season I'm going to be moving up to the 600 Super Sport class, and I wanted to get used to the riding position of a more angled rider at some point this season - my solution was clip ons. Vortex 41mm Racing.
New Puig racing dark smoke windscreen off eBay:
Newly modified fender:
And I just ordered a new helmet as well! Icon Airframe Rubatone (rubberized matte finish) with silver shield.

Nice, and the helmet also black, best color. I got a yellow shield for night and that is so strange that it improves sight.
Why dont you go for a real supersport above 1100 cc? torque is everything. I dont like the smaller supersport ones cause they are so slow. My zx14 was also slow because the (modern) powercurve is so lazy and not chilling at all, no easy throttle wheelies.

No wheelies or stunting for me . A 600 Super Sport should be PLENTY!

Nice! Looks like you trimmed up and cleaned up the fender. Looks a lot better than last time you showed us.
400 grit sand paper!

Is that wind screen actually lower than the stock screen? From this distance, it almost looks like a double bubble.
I compared them briefly when I was doing the swap, and it seemed like they were almost the exact same size in terms of height and width. The curvature at the top of the Puig was slightly different than the stock, however, in that it wrapped around a bit more. I kind of wish they made a windscreen that was 2-4" shorter in height, for cosmetic purposes. I know people have cut them in the past, but I'm a little skeptical as to how that would turn out... even after doing the fender chop by myself and being completely satisfied..

Hi bronx bull... Did you have to cut any of the brake lines ir throttle cables to get the switches onto the clipons? Or was it a straightforward conversion. I want to join you clipon freaks

Yep, I only can say good things about the Puig Screen, I've got me the same.
Re: Superbikes..... 1000cc, 750cc or 600CC, for me, the only difference it makes, whether you die in 2, 3, or 4 secs. My 750 is EVIL, I love her to death, yet compared to my SuziF, she is pure poisonous and will get me in trouble with black 'n white, I know that for a fact.
How do you like to ride on your F, now with clip on's? I didn't go for it on my SuziF, as my Gixxer 750 got them already. Though I feel more in control on my Gixxer, I love the relaxed riding style on my SuziF. On my Gixxer, after about an hour, my palms are starting to give me a Jerry Springer, you know what I mean, you bleep, what the bleep is you bleep problem. Are you bleep out of your bleep mind? LOL.

Looks good. Any experience with rubbing using the clip ons? What about clearance between handle bars and tank when putting the key in the lock position?
