BE WARNED .. TIP OVER RISK
I installed my clip on bars yesterday evening after lowering the forks enough to attach those clip ons to the top of the forks. This morning when I went to reinstall a fork air line I turned the front wheel completely to point away from the side stand. I needed to do that for easy access. WELL the bike just rolled over onto the floor :-( No damage to speak of because it was a controled fall but i could not hold it back. Anyway BE WARNED that if you lower your forks at the triple tree you best pay attention to the geometry of the front wheel as it related to the side stands height when parking your bike.
