Possibly the most annyoing thing.

I don't know where I've been. I'm just stirring the pot a little here fellas, it's healthy. I think some of you may have taken this PSA a bit too seriously. I have clip-ons mounted above the tree on my CB500 so what do I know? Still think it looks better than a floppy bunny though.

Clip-ons typically angle down at 10 degrees and some are 15 degrees. That's because it's the natural angle for most of our wrists. Likewise bar ends usually bend back slightly to match the natural angle.

Some of the bikes I pictured are at least at a 30 degree angle.

One they were made to be able to install low bars for proper racing positioning while being able to still be mounted to the stock bar mounts to remain in compliance with a lot of race organizations' regulations

That's almost correct. They were designed to use stock bar mounts and mimic the position of clip-ons, this is more specific than "proper racing positioning."

So if your clubmans don't put the bars were clip-ons ought to be then they are on wrong. This is a statement of fact. Don't try to make improperly mounted clubmans about functionality. You got clubmans because they were the cool internet cafe racer me too must have item. There were probably better ways to get a favorable riding position.

Improper bar application is a global problem that is spiraling out of control at an alarming rate.

We need to band together to take action against this epidemic before gets any worse.

I suggest public floggings for transgressors, and mandatory destruction of the offending motorcycle.

It's up to us to save the world from bad motorcycle design choices.
Haha this is freaking hilarious
