Re: DB bars vs 0 degree bars

if u wanna run full fairings and have the dirt bike feel run aftermarket clip-ons upside down, if u want alittle more control over stock and stay with full fairings go 0 degree pushed out. if your going to go street fighter get DB bars.

NOTE: STOCK R6 CLIP-ONS Randomly Break

Re: DB bars vs 0 degree bars

I have Vortex and although they are nice, they have a weird angle if you were to flip them. I heard the FI zeros are capable of being flipped without a problem

Re: DB bars vs 0 degree bars

I have FI zero's, I'm a pretty big fan, they make things a bit more comfy and easier to work / move around the bike. I haven't flipped any of the others though.

Re: DB bars vs 0 degree bars

if you are dead set on keeping FF, then FI 0 degrees are the way to go... if you are going to loose the front fairing, buck up and put DB's on!

If they have a zero degree angle what would you gain by flipping them?
