Handle Bars

I have a smaller handle bar set and i want the drag bike look for my sporty but ive heard you can flip the bars so they point more downward instead of up. Any one heard of this?

It can be done but there are fitment issues with the wires that come from the hand controls.
The wires are normally routed thru a crease in the bars on the underside. If the bars are flipped the crease is now on the topside.
Some people grind a small notch in the control housing so the wires can still be routed on the underside.
Good luck.
