Hard to say how you'll feel about them unless you give 'em a try. Everyone reacts differently depending on their body and style of riding. Not the end of the world to change them over if they don't work out in the end. If you're looking at doing mostly twisties, I would give the clip-ons a try. If you're long-haulin' mostly - don't bother Just my 2 cents :mrgreen:

Photos or it didnt' happen!!! ;)

Actually this is the only problem I'm having with my monster.

My balls are being crushed up on the tank, so I put more weight on my arms to hold me back so this hurts my arms :(

I hope the touring seat fixes it.
This is funny. I thought I was the only one riding with my crotch pressed up against the gas tank.
