Very easy to install and look great. Installed on a 2007 Bandit 1250 naked bike and I have ridden with them 4 times since. I was able to fit the grip/throttle assembly, brake lever assembly, and a bar-mounted mirror on each bar. I bought these bars after I wrecked my bike. I would buy them again, but I hope I don't have to!

Description
VORTEX CLIP-ONS 43MM 7 DEG BLK
I agree with just about everything that has been said about this product. I think my main disappointment was in finding somewhere to mount it on my 1200 Sportster Custom. I wanted it on the handlebars but find I'm limited to one small area one the left side, so I'll probably use removable screws because this is where I intend to mound a GPS in the near future. It says it can be mounted on 1-1/4", I as another reviewer noticed would not try this. The unit opening at its widest point is 1-1/4", once you start clamping it down your going to dig into your chrome and once that seal is broken you know what happens next. So I'm stuck with the temporary location on the left side of the handlebars until I get a sissy bar installed and I can move the lock to there. Manipulating the lock can be annoying as most everyone has said, fortunately I have a modular helmet so it's a little easier to get two hands in there. For the price it's a good deterrent, but don't be over confident in it ... if someone really wants your brain guard their just going to slice the web-strap and walk away, replace the strap later.
Also I have no idea where they came up with those dimensions they list, but the unit itself measures approximately 2-1/4"H (w/ clamp all the way in) x 2-1/4"W x 2-1/4"L. Maybe their dimensions are based on how much room you need to install it, lol.
One last comment: I found it helpful to put friction tape or a tape of your choosing on the inside of the mount so that it has a little better grip where ever you place it, also prevents damage to the surface you mount it to. Just a thought.
I have this mounted on my 2015 Harley-Davidson Ultra Limited and it comes in handy when I want to secure my helmet but avoid using precious space in the Tour-Pak or saddle bags. As advised elsewhere in these reviews, I did not use the one-way fasteners that come with the product. Rather I purchased regular chrome bolts so I can easily remove the lock and relocate it should I so desire.
I received the item very quickly. The hardest problem I had was trying to decide where to place it on my bike for my helmet. It does fit my handlebar very well
The only negative thing I have to say is that the screws are "one-way only" which makes it very difficult should you decide to move it. The head on the screws could be Torx heads or something that requires a special tool to tighten and remove. Something that most people will not have in their pocket or their typical toolkit. I did not tighten completely because I thought I might try it in one place and later move it if I feel I would like to after I see how well it works in my first choice. The other option would be to replace these screws with something from a hardware store that have a different head on them.
I will recommend to friends and fellow bikers but advise then to change out the screws before installation.
merci beaucoup
nice
