Rotating them can make a big difference i.e.: better feel, balance and comfort. Even small adjustments of bars then levers can feel even better than what you thought was good. It cost you nothing and you can always put back. Foot controls are all made to be tailer fit to what best fits you as well. One of the first things I address with new or used bike purchase.

I did mine, pretty happy with the results.

Be aware that starting in 2017 the bars at the riser clamp and switch housings had pins which require removing by grinding and/or yanking, which is a hassle.

After almost 16 years I hope the OP has figured it out by now.

Poor guy hasn't logged in since 2010. None of you bastards responded to his thread, and he gave up on you!
