deluxe bar adjustment
u guys think that by simply loosening the clamps and rotating the bars up and/or down would make a difference. They're fine; but I was just wondering if I could get just a tad bit more room.

Yes, sometimes just a little more up or down can make enough difference. Try it, just be sure to have a cloth or towl over your tank. If you let them swivel, they could hit the tank.

RE: deluxe bar adjustment
The bars on my EG Classic were not comfortable at all, and I was contemplating changing them. Before I did I rotated them about 1 1/2" down and they are not good. Probably not as good as a pair of pullbacks, but good enough for all day riding.
Here is an easy to adjust bars. Have someone hold the bike upright and you sit on it in your normal riding position. Put your hands in your lap, close you eyes for 30 or so seconds, and then with your eyes still closed reach up for the bars. Where ever your hands fall is your normal hand position. Adjust the bars to that point and you should be good to go.
