Pinning them is super cheap if you are willing to do some work. I think it works best, safest. Its really not hard, allot cheaper than knurling if you go to a machine shop. Down side is there is really no adjustments...

i also didnt need to buy any cables just used the stock clutch and brake.
only thing i had to do was extend the electrical wires.
that was easy, a roll of wire from my local hardware store, some electrical tape and a knife.
and this was cos i wired them internally, which is super easy with the road6custom bars.
you might be able to get away with it if you keep them on the outside

had to take off the clip that holds the brake cable under the triple tree.
i had to reroute my clutch cable but that was because i have the headlight visor fitted, so it was rubbing the paint at the side

yeah them caps make the internal wiring sooooo much easier.
got my bars from ebay, came from USA though so had to pay a little bit extra on import duty, but well worth it cos i couldnt find anything similar over here in the UK at the time

Haha, I hear ya man... I must have flip-flopped about 10 times on which bars to go with before I got mine. Good luck with the decision!
