my wrists are killing me 636 clip on help

Now before everyone jumps down my throat about a search i will tell you i did one.......I have a 2003 636 and i love the bike, the only problem is my wrists are starting to kill me after a few hours in the lot. It seems like the clip ons are down way to low for me. I have heard rumors about switching the clipons from left side to right and so on and flipping them so they dont bend down so much? has anyone else heard of this? I will eventually get some aftermarket clipons that are adjustable but is there a quick fix for now.......and no i dont want db bars...................
thanks

My friend did it on his 600rr with full fairings and a freestyle cage and its fine. The fender will barely hits the upper if it slams down hard but thats it.

Re: my wrists are killing me 636 clip on help

it would affect the ride unless you lowered the rear too, but if your stuntin it, it shouldn't matter much...............

maybe harder to clutch up, with the weight that much lower in front..........

Re: my wrists are killing me 636 clip on help

It won't affect much unless you start trying to hit the twisties on your stunt bike. You won't really notice a difference

Re: my wrists are killing me 636 clip on help

just try it out and if you don't like it just switch them right back it doesn't take long at all to put them up top..

my wrists never hurt when my clips were stock--if your wrists hurts it means your forearms are weak.

Felt weird at first, like I couldnt even steer properly.....but eventually I got used to them and now I wouldnt have it any other way....Riding stock bikes I feel like a retard now with my wrists all bent inward...The 636 already had pretty wide bars compared to other bikes, but I think the 0 angle is perfect...
