Flipped Clips for handlebars

[nicktarantelli]

I'm just curious- I did the "flip clip" modification today to raise up my handle bars, and it makes a noticeable (positive) difference for me, ergonomics wise. What I'm wondering is if anyone has tried adding a second set of the flipped clips to extend the bars back even more?
Thanks!

Not that I am aware of. I would be a little concerned about the extra bolt length in that case.

You don't know where your shoulders will comfortably be located until you get your butt in the right place. Only then can you determine the best location to place your hands for back comfort.

I'm 6'3" and long legged. In the first pic, you can see how thick the RDL seat is, which suits my legs. Only then did I add the taller risers beneath the Helibars to suit my new shoulder placement.

Tall bars do provide for a lot of leverage, and the bars were a bit wobbly. A large washer under each bolt head beneath the upper triple clamp makes them rock solid with no flex.;

These worked for me on my 1100. They can be used on flipped clamps.
They range from $35 on eBay to $110 elsewhere.
These move the bars more significantly closer.
