Clip on Handle Bars

Hey Xstremecanadian - Clip-ons look way too cool as rstnick will attest to on his recent conversion. What you should ask yourself is what kind of riding will you be doing most. If the bike is to scoot around town?, then the clip-on's bent over position is fine for short rides where you can sit up every once in a while at a stoplight. If you are planning on long trips the lower back might start to tighten up on you a little after a few miles bent over in the saddle. That's why most highway bikes have more of an upright position. I chose to go in the middle of the stock and cafe-style (clip-ons or clubman style) with the superbike bars as they give you the best of both worlds.
