Clip ons

[Dash]

I noticed that by far the most hawkers here ride with clipons. what`s the reason for that? SB bars handle much better don`t they? so what are the reasons to keep clip ons?

I currently have SB bars but I`m thinking about swapping for clip ons again. what are the pro`s and cons?

Id say it's more of an ergonomic issue, the more forward and down upper body riding position sets you up for a more agressive(ready to lean and hang off the bike)ride. If you do go with clip-ons Id also go with rearsets as this moves the peg up and back, also forcing you to use your thighs more.......Besides that they look soo damn cool

I dunno. I`m not the real leaning type of rider. I useually only lean my upper body. I really need to learn to ass-slide before a turn.

But I just tested teh position of the clip-ons and I`m afraid my back won`t last 10 minutes...

I'm 6'3" and I have Woodcraft clip-ons and rearsets and find it comfortable enough to have gone nearly 600 miles in a day. I moved the clip-ons to under the top triple tree once, now THAT was uncomfortable (thought the bike near dropped itself into every curve without so much as a thought by myself)... they were put back up top after one 50 mile ride! I don't how the guys do it that are on here.... then again, I'm a big boy...


In this pic, you can see, it's not really too aggressive.

That`s your fault for being a slowpoke. :P

nah, I tested the sitting position with clipons yesterday. my back`s still not up to it. I`ll stick with my SB bars.

I had clipons on the bros. I took them off and put the stock ones back on. I'm 5'6" and have a bit of a gut to stretch over so the stock ones work better for me. If I were racing or riding more aggressively I'd definitely loose a hundred pounds(get rid of the gut) and use the clipons. But right now it's all about comfort and better low speed control.
