I went with the adjustable Tommaselli clip-ons, you can move them up/down, back and front easily until you find a location that is comfortable. They look great.

For my particular build, I went with a set of tommaselli clip-ons. They were found while rummaging through an old motorcycle salvage yard about 12 years ago. The main reason for opting to use clip-ons was to get rid of the ugly top triple clamp. I had the opportunity to machine a new top triple clamp from a piece of aluminum. Mainly, I wanted to clean up all those holes left behind when a factory top triple clamp is stripped.
