I have them installed on my 2008 SG. No real problems - except that I probably paid for more hours than were necessary.
They fit great on the bike and really improve the feel and handling.

Do they obstruct the fairing mounted mirrors a all?
And how many hours did you get charged to have them installed?
I've ordered the service manualand am thinking of installing them myself.

They will get in the way of your fairing mounted mirrors and unless you take your clutch cable out of the grommet in the fairing and route it outside the fairing you will need an extended clutch cable. You can bend (massage) the front brake line and make it work.

Changed them myself on my 05 Ultra. I was gonna bend and re-route until I started the job. Then I decided to order new brake lines and braided cables. Don't regret it. Great set of bars.

I replaced the fairing mirrors with Don Hotop oval mirrors.
I was charged 8 hours of labor from a dealer - my local shop said 6 1/2 - but had never done it before with throttle-by-wire and ABS.
