Re: woodcraft vs vortex clip ons
I was leaning toward FI but those convertibars look awesome. A little pricey though and they look like they have a downward angle. I wish I could just get both kinds for a week trial period or something

Re: woodcraft vs vortex clip ons
Your lookin at the wrong ones.... go to "parts and accessories" and if you see the "FG 0 DEGREE" model then there's NO angle....
If you go FI get about half a dozen sets of spare bar tubes, cause you will bend them... even if you never crash.

And I guess I wont go with FI. Nothing worse than not getting to ride while waiting for parts because **** broke.

hey... somebody oughta do it.. hahaha. 
I think it's just nice to know whether or not your gettin real opinion on something or just paid advertising to thicken somebody elses wallet.
I'm sure you'll be happy w/ the woodcrafts.... they've had a good reputation on quality for years now.

Re: woodcraft vs vortex clip ons
well i got the woodcrafts on today and ... im dead serious ... i dont know why didnt do this earilier. already i want to rip it. clip ons just igve you that more aggressive feel on the bike. i got so into it i EVEN threw on the upper!
Already i like my hb/clutch setup WAY more.

Re: woodcraft vs vortex clip ons
These are a lil pricey... but they're what I run now and what I will be running from here on out.
http://www.convertibars.com/Products.cfm
The FG 0 degree stainless bars.
I LOVE em... 0 degree... they're wide as hell (perfect for all controls to fit w/ extra room)... and they take a ****** beating. I've slammed em into the ground many times already and they don't bend OR crack... they just pivot in... so all you do is loosen up the bolt, re-adjust the bars, tighten back up and go.
I've tried many a setup... dirt bars... stock clipons, stock flipped.... FI which I did like but went through too many replacement bars(they bend just from pushing down too hard on them).
And these have been the best so far... work great w/ FF cause you can adjust em in every way imaginable so your brake levers don't get in the way of your upper.
Lemme find a pic of mine mounted up.....
