Yes but finding the right ones was getting tricky with none at reasonable money appearing at all Ken.
They’re supposed to have a recess in with a round flat top for the bolts to sit in, hence the he bolts being used on these.

I can keep looking but at least the bars are on for cable fitting etc post Wednesday when I get me frame back………….whooop!

If I find the right clamps I'll let you know.

Other than that, my Cb1300 uses the same type of clamp and allen bolts to secure them. Honda fitted the bolts with chrome caps which makes them look far better and stops water collecting in the hole in the bolt and rusting them, even stainless will rust in that situation. 91455-KEA-000, not cheap but do finish the area off well.

I'd clocked the water potential when putting them on but it was all I had lurking in the shed to bob in. I'll have a look at those Ken, nice one. 8)

They don't look at all bad mate, 18 quid and the postage mind! I'd like to get them sent to Fowlers but the congestion chatge puts another £9 onto the bill if I go collect them.  postage wpuld be cheaper bit that is if they actually turn up.


I'll have a shop about but I thinl it'll be mail order from somewhere.

Top suggestion while I source the right ones, good swerve that.
