I remember way back in the 1960s, a friend of mine had a bonneville, & he decided to fit a racing tank & clip-ons - job done - looked great! Off he shot to try it out, only to come back ten minutes later, looking VERY sheepish. It appears he had made one BIG mistake. When he got to the first corner, he couldn't turn the bike. It appears that when you fit clip-ons, a racing tank must have "dents" to allow the bars to move more. As it was, he could only ride in a straight line! Luckily he drained the tank, removed it, & the shop swapped it for him. |
