I know it's a longshot (since I know what most of you have...) but, does anyone have these locally? I want to buy them but am really unsure of whether they'll make a difference. They're close to stock but with different angles on the grips.

Thanks Wesley! Funny, I was JUST reading a post from March '04 that had your feedback on these bars. How tight is the brake line with them? I have Rivco 6" risers so I'm wondering if I'll need a longer brake line. I'm already getting a braided clutch line so that's not a worry and I'm going to run my cables through the bars and can extend them if needed so not worried there either, but the brake line seems to be a common stretch.

Rob, I had no problems with the brake lines or any other lines for that matter. I have the stock risers on my bike. Not sure if you'll have any problems with the 6" risers. One feature I liked was the fact stock cables etc. need not be changed. Their great bars, makes the bike feel lighter for sure. 8)

After much debate, I decided to order them and see if I like them. If they don't seem to 'fit' I'll just sell them or send them back. Should be here by the end of the week!
