dirtbike bars dont make a difference learning slow stuff.... the only thing they will be able to help is engine break combo stuff like trying to swing your legs up over the bars n **** like that

Re: Clipons or db bars?

I understand they wont help with the actually slowing the bike down. I'm not that new at this. everyone just says you have so much more control for circles etc. with db or 0 degree clipons so i was wondering the opinions on what bars to get.

Whats your style .............Do what you like! not what everyone says you should like.

Persoanly I dont like DB on sports bikes so I'll never get them no matter how much easier they are to use

Turn your stock ones out a bit and see how you like that.

Re: Clipons or db bars?

db bars also put ur point of balance lower bc ur weight will b further back making it a lil easier but do what u want i got both
