I love mine. Direct bolt on. Much easier on the wrists around town

You just have to reroute the fast idle ( choke) cable, as that is a little short for the Helis.
Just move it to the middle of the gas tank screws like the instructions say.

Here's my bike after I installed the Heli's.  Small but noticable difference.  I definitely like them.  More comfy for sure.  The red lines below show where the stock bars would be:

That Helped Melt... does it compromise the handling

I mean makes you confertable to ride, but kills the handling... How does the bike handle compared to the stock bars

I would imagine other than a little time to get used to the new feel it isn't going to compromise handling at all. If anything it would likely improve handling by getting some weight off the front end and encouraging a more balanced riding position, especially for someone who is experiencing weight/pressure issues in their hands and wrists.

Oh ok Monty, thank you...

I got inspired by this thread and ordered one for myself, will keep you guys posted as it gets installed
