They feel goofy at first. But, after you get use to them, they're great. I like mine. I would recommend the to anyone. Igg-ro has a set also.

Yeah I like mine, not really sure how much they help, I figure its got a be better. I went with the ATV bend or 12* to move the grips forward. I have the same grips as Rob does. Pro Rally grips or something. I don't have the bar inserts.

how are they as far as taking a beating. Anyone who was at the az ride could tell you I fall a lot and bending a set of bars that cost just under $300 would seriously piss me off.

Well AP convinced me on that. I was there the two previous years so I know what its like out there. I think someone said that you can buy individual pieces. Call Fasstco to be sure.

I don't own a set but I rode Rob's bike with them and I got very comfortable with them very quickly. I thought it felt like there was less vibration on Rob's bike than mine but that may have just been the bikes and not the bars.

The quad bend is 12*s, so the grips are more forward, the ones I have. The others are 14*s, typical honda bend. Both are the same height I believe.
