I just noticed something queer with the way the FT handlebars mount.
Refer to post 121 in thread "I have put a deposit down on a Ducati Scrambler Full Throttle". It shows a picture of Francis with his new FT. and you can see the handlebar clamps.
I have an Icon and have the FT Handlebars on order - my dealer has already told me they come with the new clamps which I assumed would be the same arrangement as my Icon except the new clamps would be able to grip the fatter bar. By "same arrangement" I mean the bottom part of the clamp would incorporate the arm that mounts the Speedo/Tacho and the top clamp would bolt to the bottom clamp just like the Icon.
NOT SO - looking at the picture referenced above. The bottom part appears to be the same part used on the Icon but they have added a new top and bottom clamp on top of that - so its now 3 parts. This means the new bottom clamp would have a convex bit to fit where the 7/8 Icon bars came out of. But, I cant see that in the photo.
Am I having a seniors moment or have they just added what we would call an "adaptor" for the fat bars.
Could someone with a FT please take a close up photo so I can work this out please.
