Finding the right bar to fit you and your bike can be a never ending process.

Renthal is a brand of MX bars made popular by the streetfighter crowd, any MX bar will give you the same thing for less coin. All MX bars come in 'standard' bends, ussually named for a pro rider that used them. Once. 2 years ago. And some are labeled by the brand they mimic. I tend to like CR High bends, but you may want to try a CR Low bend in whatever brand you find.

You will definitely put more of your body towards the front with clip ons. My friends and I will swap bikes sometimes, and they all have clip ons (GSX-R, CBR and such) and I do not like it at all compared to my stock bars on my SV.

I can still handle much better with regular bars, and maybe this is just due to me riding with them all the time. I still whip all my friends bottoms through the turns though. I will put more weight up front when needed, which gives you sort of a weird position with the bars, but still plenty of control.

You will probably feel the clip ons in the wrist a little too, since you have some extra weight on them. Nothing horrible though.
