This article will help you lower your handlebars without spending a bunch of cash or making your body into a pretzel via clip-ons.
First, get a set of risers from an early model Kawasaki ZX600, or (most unlikely) a 1986-87 Ninja 250. This set of ZX600c risers were obtained online for $12.00 shipped.
