Have had one on 2 different bikes, I did bend it just a little to put it right where I wanted it. Easy to install, easy on and off. Gives me just the right amount of support.

I have one and it is fine. Easy on and easy off once the bracket is installed. Wish it was a little stiffer to give more support but it is a good value.
