Although I cant answer with 100% certainty....I dont see why they wouldn't clear the sprocket? I have them on my H2 and there is plenty of room to spare.
The back side of the hammerheads reservoir are basically milled/cast flat (for chain clearance, I presume)......

I can say with 10000000% certainty that a chainguard will not work with them.

some help I am huh? :banghead

The ones I had on my RD for a while were. Check with Lane. He has them now.

okay, they def 'fit' but not w/out some mods. NOT a direct bolt on. 1: you have to trim the metal under the upper shock mount by about 1/8". 2: no way in hell will the chainguard fit. since i dont care about any of this, im very happy with them. but if you are opposed to grinding on your frame, not a good choice perhaps. But they DO clear stock pipes bya few mm which i was surprised of.

I recently slammed a set of IKONS onto my H1F.* Adj. dampnig and spring pre-load(of course)/ blinding chrome finish/ under 400$ and ***THEY FIT 100% PERFECTLY*** Without ANY necessary mutilation to your pride and joy. Oh yea, they work great too :)
Cheers.

ah... I forgot about how "close" the top spring retaining washer was/is to the frame.... :oops: Even on an H-series its SUPER close or is touching.

On a late H1 frame, you have to notch the frame a bit (KH750 had redwings for a while). On my '72 H2, they fit without any grinding/notching......you do have to rotate the open end of that washer so it clears the frame.
