not to mention they are really comfortable without all that pull back (mine got something like 3 inches of pull back)
take some getting used to but man are they comfortable

Had em on my bike for about a year now. Even traded my clip-ons to have them. I reckon the handling of the bike also has improved since your hands are further out to give you a bit more control. Stopped the wiggles in the front at high speed too. Looks absolutely cool with the supercross headlight setup too.

So did you guys go from Clip on to dirt bike or stock to dirt bike ?
- I tried some lower wider bars than stock with less pull back and didn't like them.

would this make your riding position more comfortable?  More upright?  What are my other options?  And what will it cost me?
