Re: db bars or clipons
for some reason its extremly awkward for me to do tank wheelies with db bars though, and it seems like im more choppy with my wrist turned out and farther away from my body
Give me the wheelie gypsy

Re: db bars or clipons
Straight line endos for me where better with DB's but 270's went down the gutter with em, i switched back to clipons this year and will never go back.

Re: db bars or clipons
If u factor in the cost of risers, longer cables/brake lines, etc. it's all the same.... but u'll look much, much cooler.

Re: db bars or clipons
FI clip-ons.... same wide feel w/ lots of room... nice and low like stockers, not up in ur chest... and they dont look so gay like db bars on a streetbike.... $15 for an extra bar if u **** one up (run SI cage and no worries... ever).

Re: db bars or clipons
no u took it wrong my bar is a half inch off the back seat so it is 1 oclock and when i do bring it back the bars and risers i had were so tall it felt like i was upside down, just couldnt make myself like em so i put factory ***** on it and do better. Has nothin to do with not wantin to bring it back
oh, i get ya.
ya, i tried flipping my stock clip ons but i hated that, they angled upwards and that hurt my wrists. stock clips regular aren't bad, i just like the db bars because they allow more room for my hb setup to be right where i want it, and it's cheap to fix when i bend them.
