Has anyone lowered the stock clip ons on the Gen 5?

I am getting wicked lower back pain with the stock riding position, and no amount of adjustment of the rear shock does any good.

Do you ride Track, or Street?
Both - but my other bike has a track setup - race clipons, woodcraft rearsets - which i find more comfortable. Weight on wrists not lower back.

Weight on the wrists is totally the wrong way to ride. Your weight should be supported by your core muscles. But whatever.

You should be able to lower them slightly. Just loosen the locating bolts and slide the clip-ons down. You can't go too far though or the levers will start interfering with the cowling sides. But you should be able to go a little bit.
Yes, no weight on wrists. I think you're riding tense so you have this problem.
