no issues so far. it took me awhile too to get everything lined up perfect but I finally got it.

the clutch cable is good, I bought a billet mount for the frame that worked out good.

they are comfortable with a very natural arm position but I noticed on long trips I'm stretching forward a little. I don't have the longest arms so someone with longer arms might not have this problem.

if my risers had a 1 or 2 inch pullback it would be perfect for me.

the bars are 33 inches wide at the end of the grips on center.
