1) because you will hit the top of your gloves on the mirrors on full lock
2) because all you will see is elbow
After a test ride, yes, and bloody yes!

Going to see if work will fabricate something for me otherwise it'll be another ebay special.

I have to say it feels great so far, much comfier position, I just need to get used to how the bars turn compared to clipons

Annoyingly I have some, but they're the wrong bloody size!
The bar I have seems to only have a 15mm inner diameter.

I suppose I could take another look at the right size ones

If you've got a set like the ones you have fitted that would be amazing!

I've been to the office and our 2nd site warehouse today, and the ride is amazing. Probably placebo but it feels like the bike is more responsive, and no pins and needles is a lovely added bonus.

Grabbed some electrical wire from work to extend the horn cabling, and project complete!

The box top left, similar to the ones you currently use?
I have the same as the middle set in a black box, but kept hitting them with my hands. Although to be fair now the bars are in a different position so maybe not such an issue any more
