Yeah.

It's that 5% that scares me though. I'd better run out to the garage now... :roll:

I would say bars down, just not with this bar. just the curvature of this bar your running looks better to my eye going up. if you had a bar that swept forward a bit before coming back, I think it would look amazing bars down. maybe the camera angle isn't doing it justice? I know I had trouble with that when I flipped mine. fool with the angle it's clamped at too, I notice on my bike it made a huge difference in the visual appeal to have a slight down slope to the dropped section, if you go that way. Like deoreman says, "let the ride decide!"
