Anyone seen or got clip ons on their GSX?

Never seen a 14 with clip-ons I must admit Nearest I have is a cafe racer mockup done some years ago to give you an idea of what they look like though

When you say plug and play does that mean dipped beam in both lights or in one and high beam in other?
On the bandit I had to make do with one light one off, then kicked in high beam. Ideally like both on dipped and high?

No clip-ons, but I chopped up a Fazer thou fairing many years ago & made this.
I DO have to grow old, I DO NOT have to grow up.

And so it begins...really not sure, think it needs dropped bars or clip ons

You might want to consider these instead of clip-ons

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Chrome-Jota-Bars-1-Inch-25mm-/261336372622?hash=item3cd8dc958e:m:mNVXFpF7srrydpoFPAamzvQ

Called Jota bars, they are fully adjustable for reach and angle, so you can set  them exactly as you like. I had some years ago on a bike, and they were really good, as on longer trips you could set them higher, for scratching you could set them lower, as they have 2 adjustments (by allen bolt) either side.

You could also consider fitting lower bars. I had a similar cockpit fairing to you and found Renthal 758's to give a good position whilst cosmetically looking the business as well.
