What s the difference between handlebars and clip-ons?
Clip-ons are individual bar-lets which usually attach to the upper fork tubes, one on each side. Some sport/touring bikes have risers attached to the clip-ons which raise them well above the top triple clamp. Regular bars are cheaper, usually heavier, and easier to customize. Race-grade clip-ons usually have easily and cheaply replaceable tube sections, providing you haven t damaged the actual clamp section, but not a whole lot of street bikes with clip-ons stock have cheap replacement tubes. Generally, you will find clip-ons on more sporty bikes with more aggressive riding positions.
