The bars on the Ninja 400 appear to be on the high side so I'm picking a few rider who like to tuck will swap them out for some aftermarket ones.

Add any info you have onto this thread please.

Anyone seen these Evol Technologies Clip ons? Have had my Woodcrafts for about 2 months now and I love them, but will be adjusting my fork tubes in the next few days and am really not looking forward to the alignment after. I like how these Evol's use the oem alignment bolt holes on top of the triple, but it doesn't appear the bar width is adjustable like Woodcraft.

On another note, I was planning to order the motion pro clip on alignment tool but it appears the woodcraft clip ons don't have the clearance for this to work. What are you all using as an alignment method when you want to make quick adjustments? Even using Brian Van's method with a screw driver and the oem alignment holes, it took me hours to dial in perfectly.

So my evol clip ons finally turned up the other week and are on the bike was really impressed at the quality of them. There are a couple of issues though with the stock body work. Even with them adjusted all the way back the brake and clutch lever make contact with the stock body work. Currently waiting on a Norton steering stop to see if that makes it better. Also they come with caps on the bars not bar ends so after about 20 mins of riding on the street my hands are numb. I haven't taken the caps of yet but I'm guessing there wouldn't be a thread inside for bar ends. I quite like the look of the r&g bar ends but not sure how I'll be able to make them work if the bars don't have a threaded hole. Any suggestions?

I'm also looking at the Spears Racing clip ons too. Anyone using those?
I'm Using stock fairings and it's a street bike, so I don't want to mount below the triple tree, unless you absolutely can get lower with the woodcraft. Otherwise, Spears, Tyga or Vortex look good.
If you want clipons that can get properly low without dropping the whole front end they need to mount under the top triple. The Woodcraft clipons will go as low as you want, stopped only by the bodywork. Woodcraft Clip-Ons

I've seen a lot of clipons mounting above the top triple and am sceptical there's much drop. Imo it makes them pointless outside weight saving.

Right and left picture are my preliminary setup before I extended the bars out to a more suitable position.

Middle picture is the final setup that I like.
Hope that helps. 👍

Oh and dont mind the dent in the tank. The bike was having some growing pains caused by her pilot. 🤦🤷😂
Good used tank waiting for a coat if red to get it back to new again. 😁
It happens to all of us. 🤫😉
