Changing OEM clip on position

[mma01]

I want to alter the angle of the clip ons on my zx6rr track bike. The oem clip ons have a single clamp bolt around the tube and a bolt locating the clip ons to the upper triple clamp. Are there any issues with simply removing the locating bolt and setting bars to the desired position? I am aware of the other benefits of an aftermarket set up (i.e. ease of crash repair etc) and just want to know if its safe to adjust the angle of the oem bars since it seems that all of the aftermarket clipons have two clamp bolts.

People have done that. Seems to work for a lot of folk. Just make sure they are tight since its only a single bolt providing the clamping force.

If you crash that bike, the oddds of the clip ons hitting/denting/make a hole in the tank will increase. Thats the only downfall. Other than that....go right ahead.

Thanks for the responses. I think I'll pony up for the aftermarket clipons and keep the oem's as spares.
