Handlebar Height

teafour · December 18th, 2017, 10:06 AM

Those of you that track these guys, do you lower the handle bars from factory levels or do you adjust them up or down? My personal project has a front end swap in the works and I'll have to figure out the landing for the handlebars before it's over with clip ons. Trying to decide on a starting point and if it should be similar to the factory heights or an adjust one based on common modification. Would love your input. Thanks!

I usually start with straight clip-ons underneath top triple-clamp. Sometimes need to add something to bump-stops to prevent squishing hands on tank. Usually trim off bodywork slightly to lower them further. I usually want my hands about 5-6cm above knee level.
