They're surprisingly supple... I was expecting them to be a bit brutal, but I've put some pads on that leave a little to be desired, and it's dumbed them right down..
looking very nice... the only thing i'd say (and this is purely from my personal hatred of doing it) is lose the spesh bar ends (or at least polish them up)
I just don't like other bike manufatuers oem stuff on other makers frames. It would be the same with an orange hot rod bar on a spesh, it just wouldn't look right! (and i did see some SS orange bar ends in the for sale section if they tickled your fancy*)
