what to do about these clipons?
i got a set of Driven clipons for my bike, and when i went to install them ran into this problem.
not really sure what to do.
looks like id have to drop the forks trough the triple tree for these to fit. would that be too much of a problem?
i dont wanna install them under, that would be way too much of a lean for me and not what I'm looking for
take a look at pics of a quick mockup

I dropped the forks on my 09 to lower it a little and it seemed to handle just slightly worse in the turns but nothing too bad , also I lowered the rear but other than that it would be okay.i think if I would had some one adjust the suspension after I lowered it, it would have handled better. I was to cheap to pay someone.
that's probally the only thing I don't like about the 14 is the handlebars are angled back to much and there is no way to push them forward without getting clip-ons like yours, is that why your doing this? just curious

do you have any pics?
one of my bars is bent, and i wanted to kill 2 birds with one stone, get a replacement and be able to adjust them.

Those almost look like they are designed to go under the triple clamp.

no sorry no pics that was on my 09 I now have an 2012 and im not touching the forks on it, because it handles sooo nice and don't want to mess anything up, also I think if you put them under the top clamp it would scrape on everything if they would even fit at all, I don't think that would work.
