I know ive heard of people doing this on other bikes (such as my old KZ)  Just curious if anyone has tried it on a new Monster.  So to clarify, turn the bars around 180 degrees and then roll them forward to get the drop on the bar ends... I figure its a little more aggressive stance than stock, but not quite as extreme as clip ons... Im just worried about going through all that only to have it look terrible [roll]

Thoughts appriciated!

Do a search in Accessories and Mods.  It's been done.

I tried it as a test fit this summer and didn't like it.  The stock bars don't sweep back enough and put me in an awkward position.
