Aye Steve,

Images of the Verlicchi clip-on swan neck bars fitted to my 1986 K2 as 'original fitments' by Cagiva. Hope that this will help?

My regards, Bill

If you PM me your email address I've got photos of the Tarozzi 'high rise' clip-ons that I had on my Strada. (Clamped to the fork stanchions as on a Sport).

Interested in the same thing myself. Asked Medina if they had any used verlichi bars from a K2 but never got a response. So will probably look at tarozzi mid rise. High rise just seem too ugly ! Also looking at putting a Strada top yolk and flat bars . Sure this has been done a hundred times so is there anything to look out for with either tarozzi's or top yolk conversion ? Cheers

Tarozzi bars are the same as those fitted to the MZ Skorpion, one of which I used to own. Just be aware that the aluminium casting between the fork leg and the bar can fail and be "repaired"! :evil: :evil:

Body filler under a coat of primer and silver top coat! :evil: I have no idea when, where or how the fracture in the casting occured, but I wouldn't recommend the repair that I found!

My regards, Bill

thanks for the replies, like the verliccis but can only find them on stein dines site and they seem expensive any other sources?

Aye Steve,

Have you considered the stainless steel swan neck bars from Barleycorn Engineering?

Link:Stainless steel swan neck bars

N.B. I have no commercial or personal connection to this company.

I agree that the Verlicchi swan neck bars are priced steeply when compared with the Barleycorn or Tarozzi products.

My apologies if this adds confusion, rather than simplifying the decision. :wink:

My regards, Bill

Your link to Barleycorn took me to a scam site, hope it's just me...

My apologies Ming! :shock: However, I have just tested my link again and like pedro, it took me straight to the Barleycorn handlebar website sales page.

As an alternative, I have posted the link to the Barleycorn Engineering 'Home' page here: Barleycorn_Engineering

My regards, Bill

I have also had a Tarozzi bracket crack, and was lucky it gave way just as I stopped.

I have Barleycorn swan necks with a bit more rise than the standard ones. He only charged an extra tenner for the modification but it did take over 6 weeks to arrive even with several prompts by me. I am more comfortable riding with them.

No need, Bill - probably my browser, it does it now and again.

Aye Steve,

I don't see why not, unless your name is Marc Marquez and you use them as crash bars! :wink:
