Evil, you need to just start making them. All that lowering of the front & rear will cause a loss of ground clearance. Usually just a 5mm drop makes a BIG difference and .625 inches is HUGE!I was looking at a pair of CBR929/ 954 Clip-Ons and they look like they will work even being mounted below the triples but raise the bar height by a couple of inches.

I have lowered a couple bikes in this same fashion for some dames. If youwere using even 30% of your bikes handling abilities before this mod, you are not going to be happy with how your bike handles with the new mod. On the flip side, you might see better 1/4 mile times.

As you can see, a few companies have already offered a better solution, if you have the cash to go that route.

The last picture (Variobars) are the most adjustable & versatile.

Check their website; I'm sure they have something that'll fit since they go by the diameter of the fork tube. Most Inverted forks are 50mm I believe.

I always put aftermarket clipons on my bikes... so much cheaper + easier to fix after a crash (just goto the local metal mart and pick up some 7/8" alum. tube/rod, cut to length with hacksaw 
).
I have had a couple different brands... Vortex (nice, very competitive price) and Sato (super nice, cuff style so you can take them off w/o taking off the triples... you pay for it though)
Right now im building an 05 zx-6r up from parts (like speedracer) and im planning on making my own clipons (im a cnc machinist) just to save even more money!
