the bars are a about 1" lower and a little more forward. It feels better when I try hanging off and riding harder. it gives me a slightly more aggressive position I wanted without clearance issues. Still would rather have clip-ons or convertibars (but just can't afford'em)
Your bike looks really sweet man, I like the pads on the side of the tank. And the handlebar grips, where'd u get them? The black with blue on them look sharp.
