the clip-ons are your handlebars - can provide a rise or drop inthe position of the grips.

That's in line with what I was saying about lowering it. Great! The fact that it hasclip-on's means that the front is already lowered(You have to drop the forks in order to have something to mount them to)So all youhave to do now is get a lowered rear shock and maybe drop the forks a little more. The clip-on's are hollow so you can slide the forks up through them to any size drop you want. The forks are basically just a round cylinder so you can also rotate the clip-on's on them to get just the right swept back position that feels best for you. Or you could replace them with any 41mm clip-ons you want, if you'd like, say if you want some rise to them so you're not as leaned over. You name it, there's a set of 41mm clip-on's out there for whatever stance your looking for.
-edit-Actually I think there are two Catalyst fairings This one:
Which would not bea good candidateif you're looking intolowering the bike because it droops down and might interfere with a lowered front wheel when you're turning. Also the clip-on's would be below the triple tree so your riding position will be pretty aggresive with more weight on your wrists.

Then there's the Catalyst fairing that's exactly like the stock one but is composite so it's lighter I guess. If it has this one then he had to lower the front end to get the forks to protrude up to mount the clip-on's to. You can only mount clip-on's above the triple treebecause of clearance with the stock bodywork. It's cool because you can slide the forks up through clip-on's to get the front end to lower to any height you want.
Looks like thisedit-these are the Woodcraft clip-on's)
