Clip-ons, Risers, or lowering triple tree?

[RR Blue]

I have a kind of a problem and I can't make up my mind so I figured I would ask. I want to lower the front of my bike and I don't know what to use clip-ons, risers, or lowering triple tree. I would like some pros and cons also pics would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

RR Blue???

The risers will be less expensive but will limit the amount of drop to the hight of the riser. The lowering tripple lets you slide the fork tubes without a limit (there are other things that will limit your drop) and may look better.

i did risers because i made my own & was on a budget @ the time. pro - it puts the bars closer to you so you're not stretched out as far as if you did new tripple tree. con - at full lock the levers barely touch the trim panels behind/under the mirrors (not a big deal IMO).

if i were to do it again, i'd probably get "slammers" from trac dynamics.

I used a lowering triple tree....I'm satisfied with how it came out.

I have the tree on mine and love it.

I'm a big fan of the older-school Gen-Mar risers.

how far do you want to lower it? That will help determine the best course of action

I just want to lower it a inch maybe two max.

By lowering the front, it will not be as comfortable as compared to stock set up for long touring distances.

i think risers made it more comfortable. the bars are actually closer to you.

If your only going an inch or so risers would be best.

wut?
It will change nothing in the ergo of the riding position unless you use a riser, then it will make it closer to a sport touring bike.

Go with risers then. You can make your own very cheap or buy them pretty darn cheap.
