I'm going to give it some time. I like the handlebars where they are.. in fact, I've got some clip-ons listed on Ebay that I hated.
You can use stock handlebars, you just have to place an insert under them to compensate for more fork coming up over upper triple after lowering.
An example.
I think it might be a good idea to do this to keep the handling as close to normal as possible. But the handlebars will be higher relative to the seat.
