Default Anti-APES!!! pics...
So I made some bars and flipped 'em over. Partially inspired by ChoppedNbobbeD's freakin' killer setup (minus the tall riser). Kinda feels like ridin' with clip-on's. I'll give it a week to see if I like it or not.

It's really not as bad as you would think, but it is a very "aggresive" riding position.

Dude I think we can start a trend here. I like to see how you feel after a week.

I was already lying on my tank when I had my dragbar on. I would set my chin right on the gas cap when I would ride at about 80 mph and over. It feels easier and more natural now that the bars are inverted.
