I bought a set of SWATT clip-on bars about a month ago, and only just received them due to manufacturing problems. Has anyone else ordered or applied these bars or any like them?

i recieved mine yesterday, and have been told that they are universal, so can be used on either side. however, i cannot (nor can my bf or mates) work out how this is meant to be because of the taper/angle on the bars. as far as i can tell, i have been sent 2 right hand side bars...

can someone clarify this? it's doing my head in and all i want to do is have a set of clip-ons which work!! :'(

you may have been sent 2 right handed, just email them.

i did email him, he said they are universal and can be used on either side. i'm sure he's wrong tho...

here are some pics to clarify:

Ok, thought about it some more, and really looked @ the pics. You got shipped a pair of right clip ons. Send the vendor the pics and they should exchange for a left one.

The vendor's probably thinking of the no-angle clip ons (thinking they're universal). With the 5 degree angle, they are left/right specific.

cool, that's what i thought

he's waiting for a call back from swatt now

They must be recruiting employees from the local McDonalds. Tell 'em to send a pair of lefties and you'll call it even.

Can you remove one handlebar from the clamp and insert it from the other end of the hole?

The problem lies in the clamp, not the bar. Doing this won't solve the issue.
