    It depends of the angle you want your dragbars to be at. If you're gonna placed your dregbars straight down or slightly towards you then they will hit your tank unless you face the handles straight towards you. Not down at all. But if you want the down look, then you're better off with the clubmans. But either way, let me warn you that COOL looking clubman'sl are not as confortable as stock for long rides. Ask me how I know.
