BTW, I'm sure you've measured their comfort level, but hows the lean angle with those clip-ons? I tried their fit on my bike at the time, but they were far too forward and low so I opted for bars with the same angle and a bit of lift.
And will you be keeping the stock wheels?
(I haven't read the entire thread so I might've missed that info.)
If I have the time I'd love to sink my teeth into a restoration project on one of these, kinda like the old boxy MotoGP style.

Thanks, I think it is coming along nicely. I hope to have it on the road this coming week. I am a little weary of riding it on the street, but what is the sense doing this if you cant ride it & enjoy it.Right? As for the clip ons, They are perfect. The lean angle is the same as the stock clip ons, but the stock ones were a fixed position set. The angle back would give me a cramp in my muscle around my thumb after about 15 minutes. The woodcraft ones are pushed out about 2 inches at the end of the bar, aleviating the twist outwards of the wrist.
Classic yamaha ther in the pic, just a little smal for a guy my size. Go for it. You dont have another bike yet do you?
