Yeah, they give it just enough clearance for the cables. I didn't like their aggressive slope though- they start out high but end up as low as GSXR bars. I love the LSL Sport Match High Offsets.

looked at the LSL bars and yes they were nice but had no adjustability...

I like the darker fork colour, looks good against the plastics.

Or the rear gold to match, I think black would look better though.
