    Ok, so I am about 5'9 buck fifty. I feel that high riser clip ons would be an advantage for me over std. Clip ons. Here's why, I feel if you have a riser clip on you would be reaching over the gas tank vs around the gas tank. This would be easier on your arms and easier to Hang more off the bike. Has anyone switched to riser clip ons vs std? And how did you like it? Pros vs cons?

    Apex sells 3" and 4 on this site. It helps on quads and made my body position more comfortable hanging off. I have a lot more experience on dirt but I feel like it would make it more relaxed on the track...I have also been told more than once to forget my dirt position when I'm on a sportbike. I don't know if it will help but I'm defiantly going to bolt some on and try this season!

    Leg & arm length matter when getting fitted to a bike, especially at the track. Experiment until you feel it's a bespoke set up, then ride it like you stole it.
