DB bars - clip ons?
why DB bars? i tried them and hated them. i hate how upright i sat on my bike and how whoolies felt. but are they really that much better? and why aftermarket clip ons? what makes them so much better than stock.

Re: DB bars - clip ons?
I was just thinking about this question last night... All my buddys rock DB bars as did i when i first started. One day we were all at the gas station by the spot and some guy walks over and says " wow kick *** Dirt Bike dude". I my self was kinda mad at how stupid this guy was... I guess what im getting at is that i dont want to be confused for something that im not, Nor do i want to have some over fabricated bike to make everything easy for me.

Bandito. The switch isnt that bad. Took about 4-5 hours to get used to it then it was fine. They were turned out and the upper was trimmed though. Id say go for it. If you dont like it just change it back.

Re: DB bars - clip ons?
its pref though really,what works for you and is most comfortable.
i have a **** right wrist so having turned clipons that my body weight is resting on kills me.
with the DB's it doesnt effect me and my wrist is straight as possible.
also alot less forarm pump for me and i feal like i have more control on the bike for circles and stuff.
i tried to use clipons and im all over the place, but then again im not that good,

gotta try the Db's to be able to give an opinion on that.

Re: DB bars - clip ons?
You could always do HoHey triple with 0 degree clip-ons so the clip-ons are on top of triple?? Def. costs some coin though.
Or
0 Degree Clip-Ons with Risers

I look forward to my DB bars.
