clips-ons lower the bars and move them forward. this results in a "sportier" riding position somewhat similar to that of the supersports (zx6, gsxr, r6, cbr600, etc). for our ninjas, it also stretches you out a little more due to the longer, lower reach to the bars. many have found that this is more comfortable when in the "tuck" position.
hope this helps. |

The main reason I would use aftermarket clip-ons is that the bars are easily replaceable. When you crash and bend or break a bar it is a quick fix to slide in a new bar with most of the aftermarket clip-ons.
