    hello all,i`ve got a Daytona 600 also early arthritis in thumbs and wrists (awaiting crude jokes) I would be better off with a 675 triple but im poor so has any one had any experience with the adjustable clip ons that you can raise up about 3 inches or so,i want to keep all the fairings on so making a streetfighter out of it is a no no,thanks.Steve

    Before you purchase new bars, try these, only a few quid each, enable you to take weight of the palms by placing the heel of your hand on the lever when required. Less stress on the thumbs as well. I have arthritic ands, these have made a considerable difference to the enjoyment of every ride ( Scottoiler cramp busters )

    Because of arthritis in my wrists, I've fitted a set of these
    [​IMG]
    on my Tiger. Very cheap, around £30 on ebay. Very well made. Very adjustable. Very satisfactory.
    The throttle assists are also available on ebay for 99p.

    I decided to go for cnc top yoke conversion. Not cheap at £200 but going to be worth it so I can ride my Daytona without sever neck/arm pain due to a surfing injury many years ago
