Question I have my clipons on top of the triple, Why?

When I set up my 07 I got zero degree clip ons and flipped the triple to put them on top, lately i'm wondering what if any advantage this is giving me. I'm 6'2" so my reach is long maybe under the triple like stock is the better choice and my key won't be pointing down.
Give me some opinions and experience/preferances flipping the triple for clip ons on top or keeping them under it. Thanks

Any one got 2 cents, hate to switch it all around then switch it back.

Re: I have my clipons on top of the triple, Why?

im about ur height and run them on top....for one your front ends a little lower, stoppies snap up quicker, and the closer my bars are to me, the less hunched over i am, the better it feels

Re: I have my clipons on top of the triple, Why?

Welll I ain't pullin through ****,yet. I just flipped the top triple didn't have to lower the triple on the forks. In thinking I would have the bike taller with out pulling them to my chest or hanging offf the back as much, body would end closer to the bike with them under. Just might have to experiment.

I'm 6' 2", also Joe. I notice that I am WAY more hunched over when I ride with lower bars. I have 10 degree upward angle bars, and that puts them at the perfect hieght for me, and of course...they're above the triple. Makes SS feel SUPER comfy...
