vortex clipons

I was wondering if anyone ever tried to flip the vortex clipons upside down. I know everyone does it with the fi zero degree, but I havent heard anything about the vortex clip ons. Yes, there is an angle and it would be a little different, but I was thinking about flipping them. Any Imput???

Re: vortex clipons

i did it and loved it. kinda whacky at first but opens up a ton of room for spreaders.... almost like miny dirt bars and if u push em out forward stopies are alot more comfy

Re: vortex clipons

dirt bike bars are taller wider and way more comfortable. fliped n switched clip-ons kill your wrist for the first week of riding and are way more skinny. the advantage of flipping clip-ons you can still run a upper and not look like a dousche and gain alot of room (if you can't do the splits) for spreaders and high chairs etc. its alot cheaper also for the same affect insted of switching to dirt bars.

Re: vortex clipons

so you think suicidl looks like a douche?? hahahaha no way....

so does anybody run flipped vortex's with the fairings on an f4i? i flipped the stock ones and it limits the room for steering a lot. the stock clips are too short for decent handbrake placing.. anybody got any tips?

arround here we ride sport bikes. i don't like the look @ all with dirt bars, im true to the FF circle and think DB bars on FF look stupid, its just an opinion on style not talent. so in all respect, florida looks stupid!
