I'll be putting on the new race fairings, and the clip ons this weekend.
I think I'm going to need a front stand to take of the stock bars. I am going to be frustrated, but i'm looking forward to the project.

Put it off for a week or so and come on down for the Sonora Pass Sunday ride!  :)
But.........sigh..............so far, Ian and me are the only two I know of that plan to go.

Which clipons did you get.  Also if you need help give me a call.  I am in Reno and I have all my tools.

Shouldnt need a front stand for the bars, but you can borrow one if you need.  We also got in the Baxley stands as well finally.  Call if you need any help.  Remember to use a bigger hammer!!!  Anything can fit.

just be careful when you change the clipons that you keep the forks straight in the triple clamps. You will have to remove the upper triple to remove the stock clipons. Make sure the upper triple is back on and tight before putting the new clipons on

yeah.  All reports say that there are no suitable clip ons yet.  Woodcraft has the eternal wait for availabilty.
It seems that all the racers are using stock bars. :(
