Just got some DBR-13's for my S4r.
Looking for pictures and opinions to mount below or above the triple clamp.
Also, I have a top mount steering damper, so looks like I have to keep the handlebar clamp to keep this feature.
(bars are already sold to Mr. Duckstew)
Bring it on fella's
Here you go CC below triple:

Definitely go below. My picture sucks but

If you mount above, they will actually be higher than the stock handlebars. And IMO mounting above looks a little.....silly.
I've had 'em both. Above for the long ride to Vegas so i was less fatigued, and it was comfortable.

Don't have the most current picture uploaded yet, but they are below the triple again.

I have them under the triple. It's still comfortable and sporty.
Bad pic...

Seems to be a mix review on below or above triples.
Chris@cyclecat (formerly known as) is doing the install and he says most monsters get above the triple install.
I rode another members bike and they were below and felt fine.
Only issue is how to deal with the top mount steering damper
Remember you'll still be gaining a silly amount of sweep and adjustability. where ever you decide to put them, you'll be quite happy.
I just don't want to sell my arrow top damper and buy an ohlins side mount.
working duckstew on a solution.
So look look like most do under triple. That is the way I will go
Yep. That's what I did. Here's a shot or two:

Prior to powdercoating and other fancy parts:

If Stewart makes clamps to fit a damper under the (OEM) S4R triple, I'd buy one.
I have the CC triple and clipons. I had my triple tapped by a local machine shop and run the Matris top mount damper on her

I dont think he is making a clamp, just some ideas for me.
I just dont want them too low, I have a bad left shoulder.
If I mount above, can I still drop lower than say my stock Magura's?
I think so, the angle is also superb. They are also narrower than the stock style bars.
