Rear sets change the weight distribution and ground clearance of your bike. The clip ons should make you lean further forward over the front wheel changing the weight distribution and handling of the bike. Both should also be a weight saving over the original product.

I had to ask what clipons were and did in the road trip thread a couple of weeks ago.
Rear huggers, rearsets, fender eliminators, blah blah blah :D
Never heard of it back in the old, old, olden days :lol:
