Anyone put clip-ons on the rappy?

Considering doing it to mine. Just wondering if it's feasable. Looks like the front will need to be dropped down the forks to fit them on though.
Had jota bars on my last bike and the aggresive riding position made me feel alot more comfy when riding hard, I tend to find it fairly difficult with such wide upright bars to really get it over with confidence as I dont feel my body + weight is in the right position.
May well just end up refitting jota bars to the rappy to see how that goes but just wondering if anyone had done clip ons with much success?
Cheers,

I did have jota bars on mine and liked em but needed to adjust the bar stops to stop em clunking the tank (very restricted lock)
I would think the amount you would have to drop the forks through the yokes would cause the steering to be too lively so be careful.

hmmm, neither of those options sound particularly appealing now. Will have a play with the jota bars and see just how restricted the turning will be!

I presume the VRap and the Rap bars are the same, there ain't much room with standard bars between the tank, me thumbs have been pinched before :pinch:

Wouldn't worry too much about confidently getting it over with the wide bars, they like doing the confidence for you :D I was the opposite, going from clip ons, I've lent further over instantly, than I ever go with the SV :tada:
The Rap only has to look at a corner and it wants to flop into it :)

Must say though mine is a v rap and the horns can be a pain ,so it might be easier on a std rap.

No Dizz, the V-Rap bars are lower and wider than the naked.
