Also are the clip on handlebars on ebay any good at making it less of an upright riding position?

Because my current grips are torn and I'm asking about the clipons because the upright riding style hurts my back

Yeah, the 650's take a standard 7/8" dirt bike style handle bars.
I personally recommend the Progrip 717's. They are nice and thick and take out some of the vibes from the engine.
If you are looking for a more leaned forward position, I would also recommend the Sportsbars from the Ninja650shop. Kawasaki Ninja 650R and ER-6n / ER-6f Parts & Accessories 402-934-6627
They are not the cheapest product out there, but they drop your hands by about 2-3" and forward about 1-2". Personally I got a bad back from riding too upright on the 650R. These bars made one hell of a difference! Some comparison photos are below:
Apparently clip-ons don't work on the 650's due to the fairings getting in the way, but the Sportsbars are made for the 650, and make one hell of a difference to the ride!

agreed with zandit on the sportsbars. I was pretty sure they were attached at the triple tree. That's why I asked. Sportsbars are the way you'll want to go. I had a friend add them to his zx14 and damn it was much better for our type of riding.
