Clubmans or Drag?

So I'm sure this has been asked before but what are some opinions? I love the look of clubmans/clipons but they just dont look comfortable without rearsets-especially for taller guys. Anyone have experience with either or both? Thanks!

drag bars are even worse.
the angle of the bend is less natural to the normal position of your wrists.

I would go with adjustable clubman bars (Tomasselli) or Telefix 3-way adjustable clipons...
 
I tried clubmans, even went through the ordeal of drilling them for wires. They looked badass but were murder on my palms and wrists at low speeds for any length of time. I switched to a set of drag bars with a bit of pullback and feel much more comfortable. FYI these were the Bikemaster bars, different manufacturers make clubmans a bit different I've heard.
 
I put Tarozzi fully adjustable clip-ons on my bike. They're really comfortable for me, but I'm only 5'7" and don't have rearsets.
Tarozzi also sells them with risers so that they would not be as low for you.

I have used clubmans and clip-on. Clip-ons are much more comfortable on the wrists and hands.
 
Thanks for the info guys! Those Tommaselli's look sweet-I like the idea of being able to adjust them for comfort but damn-$$$$$$$$! Thats quite a bit more than I paid for the bike!

maybe for your hands, I find my drag bars to be perfectly comfortable. I love them, and don't really like how clubmans feel.
 
I don't know if anyone tried this but I took the superbike bars on my CB400F and flipped/inverted them. Ill post some pics later. The bars end up in somewhat of the same relative position as where you would put clip ons but you are utilizing the stock handlebar mounts. Its quite comfortable and it doesn't hit the tank. I know its an unorthodox method of mounting handlebars but it looks cool and is easy on the wrists.
