whats ya preference i had dirtbike bars for a day and switched back to factory clipons, whats everyone ridin with?

 

clipons

 

im thinkin bout gettin some freestyle clipons but everyone ive talked to sayd the db setup is easier for just startin out

 

I really like my vortex turned out straight.....they feel good that way...I have never tried db bars.....why did you only rock them for one day?

 

Renthal street ultra low bars, model 758 or known as scary gary bars on the HAI website.

I don't care about the db bar haters, these feel just like turned out clip ons but higher up, my wrists hurt less and I personally feel I have more control. I don't find it "easier" as such, but I feel more comfortabe with it which in turn helps with the stunting.

Horses for courses really... go with what you like best.

 

I love my DB bars, but full fairing with clipons on a stunter is the hotness

 

i like my db bars because they are easy to fix and provide lots of room to mount my hb/clutch how i want it. they also give me a wider grip.

it's just easier to run them, i have an extra set of bars in my garage (cost me 40$) and even if i lost those or didn't have an extra set, i can drive to the local bike shop and pick up a set that day. with clip ons i'd have to order or whatnot. i probably could get the ones with replaceable bars and just keep extras, but i'd have to buy the clip-ons for 100+ to start out with.

basically, easy to fix, cheaper, and easier access to them. i also like the way they feel.

 

after riding dirtbikes for a about 12 years, i think it would be more comfortable with the db bars

 

becuz when i pulled it up i was rollin at like 11 with the bars to my chest and just couldnt make myself bring it on back to 12.. i measured when i put the factory clipons back on it and the db setup was 7 inches higher, i guess its just all in what you like

 

i want db bars so bad. right now ive got factory clip ons flipped and turned out

 

im not hatin on them at all i had garbage db bars if i had nice ones i woulda probly liked them becuz i raced dirt forever and thats what i was used to it just didnt feel comfortable to me, so im not hatin actually 2 guys i ride with ever day have db bars and 3 have clipons

 

thats what i done took my factory ones and turned them over but i was also rockin some dirty o'neal bars so that was probly the problem

 

runnin bars was alot of fun and i dont care what anyone says, it does make it easier when u have them stoppies and everything. not a bad thing that it makes **** easier thats how riding progresses by making **** easier. but anyway i just cant stand the look of bikes with bars on em, i like my bike to look as factory as possible. i think the chopped up f4i's look like **** and im sick of seeing them and ff with bars just looks super retarded. its bad enough that every squid *** thinks that the only reason u can stunt is cuz u got a hb and sprocket then when ur bike is all streetfightered with bars on it theyre all saying "oh well if my bike was like that i could do that too". blahh

 

that's a pretty weak excuse for not using them...you're scared to 12 because y ou lean back too far? wtf?

if you didn't like them you didn't like them, plain and simple. took me a few weeks to get used to mine. i used to hate them. don't make up a gay excuse like that....as soon as you said you couldn't bring yourself to take it to 12 because the bars are too high you sound like a girl. take off your 12 bar and try doing a 1 oclock.

 

thats by far the dumbest **** i have ever heard imo

 

I'm gonna keep clipons on my R1 but I'm getting a F4i stunter after winter and I'm gonna do 3/4th fairings and get the full throttle tripple with scary gary bars. I hate the look of full fairing with DB bars but I think DB bars with side fairings & a Acerbis Diamond on the front looks

 

i actually got both i got the freestyle clip on w/ my gsxr and my 600rr had the db bars (came that way when bought ) there not to bad makes it a lil more fun. but go with whats comfortable. i like them both

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

 

i like the db bars cuz they are way easier for me to turn in wheelies and you whole body is higher up when you come down out of wheelie and doesnt hurt your wrists as much

 

yea thats true becuz im not real good at dead stop sit downs yet i get it wher it needs to be but i get on the brake to hard and slam it bout 1 in 3 tries i think i messed my wrist up already i mouse trapped the **** out of it the onther night
