Fork size is much smaller than today's bikes at 35mm, not sure of any current suppliers.
Ace bars were used alot (named after the original Ace Cafe-racer scene) that fit into the original handlebar mounts but give you the positioning of clip on type bars.

Are k2 stanchions the same diameter as the k1
Looks like your bike has the earlier front end.

Hi…
I'm selling some clip-on's on ebay. 271626650568 (cut and paste into "search").
They fit 35mm stanchions but the original master cylinder of my F1 fouls the bracket fixing bars to stanchion. Shame as they look great, but I want to keep the original master cylinder.
I need something like a bar that's welded to the bracket fixing to the stanchion rather than clamped. May be the same for you if you're using the original master cylinder.
This what I actually require 151412312476 (cut and paste into "search").

Thinking of the same idea re clip on's, do all the cables have to be shortened or can they just flex further out of the front of the bike.
Any other 'watch outs'?

Shame, the John Tickle clip ons arrived and when i tried them on I realised that they are too short to fit brake lever and throttle controls.
Ive sent them back, if only i had asked for the lenght..
