Didn't know if this is normal. I did get a chance to test the clipons out. Still higher than what I'm used to, but I'm definitely more leaned forward now. Weirdest change is actually how I steer. With the stock handlebars, I actually pulled the bars in to countersteer (ie pull left handlebar in, go right). With the clipons, I push to steer now since I'm more leaned forward.
You should practice and utilize both actually. For example, when turning left push on left bar and pull on the right bar. It'll help if you need to swerve really quickly in an emergency situation, the bike falls over much quicker when you push and pull as opposed just pushing or pulling (at least in my case it's so).
