fitted some clip-ons this weekend (thanks doug) they look far cooler than the standard bar. the riding positions makes the bike feel faster

only complaint?! bloody torque slides!! with more weight upfront (ie my fat ass) if i open up in 1st the back starts sliding sideways!!! scared the crap out of me twice already! eeeesh!

Wait 'til it starts shaking its head on high speed corners!! Glad you're enjoying them. I think clip-ons are great on the Monster. They really make a difference to the handling. The front end feels much more planted. They also make the bike look better too. Shame you can't get a decent set of clip-ons for the newer Monster though.
