Had long planned on my bike being a street-tracker which could become a cafe style bike with only a swap to clip-ons. Finally tried adding clip-ons during this weekend's fork overhaul. This is my pretty much my first bike, so also my first time with clips-ons.
Frankly, I'm a little underwhelmed, no doubt because this bike probably just doesn't make enough power for them to be useful. Handled just fine with the tracker bars, and I come from an off-road bicycling background so I'm used to big, wide bars. We'll see how it feels with the clip-ons through the sweepiest corners I can find around here, which ain't much. Sure does look cool, though. If you think a wheezy old Indian made Enfield can be cool, that is.
Here it is at home in the dirt with the high bars:
