They're probably more like 1.5-2" lower. You go from being perfectly upright to leaning forward about 10 degrees, which to me is a much more natural to slightly sporty riding position. Plus, unlike aftermarket bars, you can retain the factory bar weighting system, which I don't know if I'd want to give up. Most aftermarket bars are aluminum and thus fairly rigid - transferring vibrations more directly, as opposed to chromed steel with 6" worth of rubber-dampened weights in either end. Highly recommended!

I'm about to install the Type 2 bars and will report back on them shortly.
