actually 3 words..........
not sure what that means lol
it means put the bars on the opposite sides.
Turn your stock clipons upside down and flip the sides. So left bar goes upside down on right side and vise versa. Also push them out wider. Cheap and easy, good starting point without having to spend any money

There I tried to fix it, hopefully it's more clear not to count the "and" as one of the 2 words
some examples
yes much better on your wrists and back, and also easier to control your stunts...
Most people look it and say it looks weird, then they sit on it and say wow thats comfortable
I never thought about that. Make u wonder why the manufacturer put it at an angle in the first place

Well you dont want to be doing racing or Tims posing with that riding position....For stunts and cruzing however its more comfortable and manageable.
For track I put my bars back, I still turn them out a little from the stock position
I can care less what ppl think at tim's lol. I tried it out placing my wrist at different angles and i feel a difference. My only concern with riding long distances was my wrist
Thx dude

How much higher are the bars in that position?
I have mine turned out a fair bit from stock but not nearly as far as shown in your pics!

Its not so much about the height but more so the angle, your OEM clipons angle about 7-9 degrees downward. When you flip them and push them out with the angle of the forks they end up being almost straight. So little or no down angle and less angle inward angle also...
If you hold your hands at an angle like stock bars force you too, your elbows are bent more outward, and that makes you hunch forward. When you put them straighter you loose almost all of the elbow angle and hunch forward much less...It makes for a more upright riding position
If you really want more height without going to dirt bars, you can look into the newer style adjustable height riser clipons..A few or my friends are running them and love them...It just makes the bike look more weird IMO...I have 2 sets that I bought and just havent been able to bring myself to put them on...LOL
