Advice Needed, DB Bars or Stunt Clip-ons?

My f4i is still full fairinged. My stock F4i forks were bent, so I replaced them with 954forks/rims/wheels/rotors/calipers/clipons.

The problem I am having is that the 954 clip-ons are lower so they hit the ram air tube and fairing stay, limiting slow steering.

I am gonna change the clip-ons to something more heavy duty. What should I get DirtBike Bars or Vortex/Freestyle Ingenuity Clip-ons?

I am gonna eventually put on a HB setup once I master the rear brake, so space on the clip-on is very important.

Thanks in advance! :YEAH

The best comment i've ever heard on the subject is from NME....

"The only bad thing about DB bars is Haters!"

I couldnt agree more, cause I love mine. I'll never go back! Then again I have two bikes so i have the best of both. lol

I just put db bars on my gixxer 600, havn't rode it yet, but i love how they feel, i would go with the db bars fo sho!!!

If you do go with the Db bars get a fat bar like protapers, tag, or renthal fat bars

You will prob have to trim down your upper fairing a bit tho.......

Why do people hate on the DB bars, they look more crash resistant than clip-ons. I am going for low cost of upkeep for my bike lol.

Does anybody know if the DB bars will hit the fairing stays and ram air tubes?
