Hey Dave, do you like the apes on the skunk? I've sat on a couple EG/RG's that had those style bars and they felt really weird to me (but didn't try them on the road). Lot's of folks have installed them so wondered how different it made the bike handle.
I like them quite a bit. A very good wrist angle and comfortable width. I was worried about how different it would handle, but it does not change the handling. It takes the curves and corners just fine. I can still do the MSF safety course box with these bars too. My hands are about two inches below my shoulders.
I am considering the same bars for DaKing. Waiting till I get seat with a back rest, then if these stock bars are ok then I will not change. If they still bother my back, then I will go with the same 14" or maybe even 16" Monkey bars
