MX bars VS clip ons
just wanted to know what your opinion is between clip ons and MX bars...

I had my bike converted to MX bars, but I think i'm going back to clip ons for next year.

I think MX bars are good dirt bikes. Thew doesn't have a problem rolling 750+ foot stoppies with regular clip ons.

I tried riding Shocker Jaysons 929 with mx setup and it felt WEIRD! I don't think I want to try to get used to it.

I grew up on dirtbikes so putting the bars on the ol 929 felt more natural to me...to each his own though!

he has vortex clip ons that are longer and he pushes them flat out so they have more leverage....he just doesn't have the height that the dirtbike bars do.

i ride with stock right now, but my 900rr is streetfighter, still building it though.

i really didn't think having normal clips really mattered for endos personally. Clips feel more natural to me too, but hey, whatever does it for ya.
