Vintage Clip on handlebars

We now carry these beautifully crafted clip-ons for your vintage race bike or cafe racer!

Our clip-ons have recessed allen bolts and threaded lugs so no fiddling around with small nuts in hard to reach places (hey now). Because the bolts are recessed you also gain a bit of clearance with the tank which is can be at a premium on many vintage bikes.

Bar length 11" (9" from clamp to bar end) so plenty of room for large vintage master cylinder. Bar angle a pretty mellow 12 degrees so these clip ons do not put your wrists at some crazy angle but allow you to tuck in comfortably.

Excellent TIG welded construction. 7/8" bars fit most Japanese and European applications. Comes with plugs on the fork side, open ends for bar end weights or mirrors. Additional bar end plugs available separately.

Larger sizes available in black powder coat also!

32mm - chrome only

HLB35 Vintage cafe headlight brackets
These rubber mounted brackets are made of aluminum with a chrome steel clamp and look great on vintage cafe racers.

You will need a set of these when installing clip ons on your vintage bike, because the stock headlight ears are too tall and don't leave any room underneath the top clamp. The height of these brackets is less than 3" so these are an excellent replacement for the stock headlight ears, not to mention they look way cooler.

As a bonus, they will allow you to move the headlight down lower so you haver room to lower your gauges so they don't stick out all funky, no matter what type of handlebars you are using.

Centerline forks to center of holes 4.5".

The rubber sleeves on the HLB35 are for 35mm forks but will cinch down on a 34mm fork or can be installed on 36mm forks with some muscle and a liberal dousing of WD40...

Also available in 31mm HLB31 and 38mm HLB38.

HLB31 fits 30-32mm
HLB35 fits 34-36mm
HLB38 fits 37-39mm

SWITCH1 Universal ON/OFF switch
Finally a clean switch that does not look out of place on a vintage bike, will work as a kill switch, headlight switch or anywhere a positive on/off switch is required. Also great for custom builds, drag bikes, race bikes etc. 2-wire, for 7/8" bar.

Price

SWITCH2 Universal ON/OFF kill + starter switch
Simple, clean switch that combines 2-wire kill switch (positive) and starter button (momentary). Also great for custom builds, drag bikes, race bikes etc. For 7/8" bar. The switch housing is only 7/8" wide so narrow enough to fit between a push-pull race throttle and the brake lever.

Price

GRIP2 Road race grip - endurance
These cool vintage grips provide tons of feel and a bit more vibration reduction than the road race grips above, which makes them perfect for endurance racing or long rides. They are made of a soft and very grippy silicone rubber, without being squishy, they are juuuust right... Five grooves for lockwiring if you're so inclined. The ends are closed. Fit 7/8" bars.
