Heard way better for stunting, not so good for agressive twisty riding.

i've ridden with DB bars and clip ons, and they both have their advantages and disadvantages... right now i'm running Vortex adjustable clip ons, reversed, and turned out, so they are close to the same angle as DB bars, but a few inches lower. i prefer that set up to dirt bars personally, because i like running full fairing

ok i have to ask...what do db bars do?? is it just something for stability or what?
*never ridden dirt and a newb w/ bikes*
two mates of mine have them on their stunters.. i've ridden both.
weird to get used to, but very nice for steering wheelies/stability. haven't tried stoppieing their bikes.

Gives a different riding position
They are a higher, and straight. Give you a little more leverage on the front end, and supposedly easier for wheelies/stoppies.

I have "played" on one set up like this. It is quite different.

My Buell is setup with them and I would never go back. So much easier on the back, easier to ride and more control. I love them. I had a GSXR for 2 years and would never go back to clipons unless I'm riding on the track.

its good and not so good.. i cant lean a corner for shit anymore... then again i never realy try... on stoppies the bike wants to flip much quicker... wheelies is fun once you get used to it...

I drag my knee and footpegs everywhere with my dirt bars and then pull some wheelies out of the turns haha

u can drag knee for sure but it feels funny at first cus ur torso sits up more. i liked them on my friends 954 we'd swap bikes now n then he had a 905 cage, db bars n naked 954 which i loved cus i could put my legs up on the cage sit back on the seat an stretch my arms to the db bars. hahahhaha felt like a real honda davidson

DB bars are definitely good for stoppies.
That's about all I like them for though.
