adjustable clip ons / handlebar riser kits.
Thinking of trying these...
Once I lower the front end 1.5 " to match the new dog bones, it should give good rise with extra fork tube above top clamp, bring them 1 inch closer to seat, and less downward angle too.
I will route the throttle cables under the frt brake ,then will be enough clearance with the fairing.
The stock clutch and frt brake master cylinders have mounting bosses for the resevoirs , they will be drilled and tapped, as the stock clip-on mount will not be used.
Cost more than other options but I can't see riding all day with stock ones, especially with stock down angle.
Will take a couple of weeks to get parts, and rainy day job.. but will post pic then.
I would mount them so the handle tubes are rear of the fork tubes rather than front.
this would bring the bars back 1 inch at the forks, adjustable by turning them on the fork to straighten bend or leave as stock, as well the downward angle is reduced, and the height is adjustable - dependant of amount of fork sticking above triple clamp- from stock to 2 or more inches.
The higher the forks are raised in the triple clamps, the more height can be had.....
suspension clearance will be the limiting factor, for raising forks, and faing tank clearance will be the issue for the bars.
If LSL / Speigler would make this for the zx14, it would be alot easier:
Not the coolest / most sport orientated ... But hey I like standard riding style for comfort, and want the brakes / engine of the zx14, plus the standard versions of sport bikes always end up detuned.
Pic shows stock vs mod on a Duc.

anyone else interested in the clip ons?
wife speaks German.. could call directly and make a request.
There is room if the cables are routed under, and offset to rear while straightening bars and flattening will work.
Adjustable 0-2 inch rise, 1- inch back, straighten and flatten handles somewhat.
