In a minor quandary here. I want lower clip-ons/handlebars on my Ninja 1000SX so I can engage my core more (the pegs are don't need to be moved), but the shop I talked to said that there aren't many options for doing so because the bars can't be lowered much before hitting the bike's gas tank.

I don't want to trade it for a different one, though, because that would involve a lot of financial mess and I'd have to get new luggage racks so my top and side cases would fit on whatever bike I'd end up with.

Maybe simply rotating the clip-ons a few degrees forward at the triple tree would achieve the result I'm looking for. 🤔

The lead mechanic (now back from a COVID leave) thought it was fine and didn't charge me for performing the rotation. :)

Maybe you can get a shop that does custom metal fabrication to make some “dents” in the gas tank so the bars (and your hands?) don’t hit. You can then get it custom painted as a bonus.
