Nope, but just like anything else, takes a little getting used to.

I love mine. Just got done with an 800mile trip, and no complaints or discomfort at all!

Mine are the biggest HD beach bars you can get. Just a couple inches bigger than my old factory bars, but it was enough to make a solid difference.

Good luck...

I love my WO550's from Wild 1's. I would suggest you go to a goodIndy shop and get measured first. I'm 6'5" tall and these bars fit perfect and are easy to use.
