Renthal/MX bars on sportbikes

i've seen 'em, and i am interested in purchasing a set as my skills progress. a couple things i ponder about, though, are:

1. what is a good, trusted manufacturer of clamps? and

2. do they even offer any handling improvements?

i can kind of picture how they would improve handling due to the increased height of the bars, and their more 'flat' shape as opposed to the 'down and dirty' angle of clip-on's. anyone who rocks 'em and can lead me down the right path will be greatly appreciated by one of your fellow peers. good look.

for the clamps and risers www.fullthrottleinc.net his clamps and risers are made out of cnc billet aluminum, his name is bill, super nice guy, and he also built the speedo bracket that's removable. i would highly recommend going to him.
i went with renthal bars and the only thing i had to lengthen was the brake lines. left one 36" right one 33"

thanks man...i see you're ridin' a 636...do they make a streetfighter front end compatible with the 636, or did you have to do some custom work? in the market for one of those 2.
