Haven't ridden the bike enough yet, but I do like not having my elbows locked just to reach the bars. I got the BarBacks mainly to bring the bars closer to the seat so I wasn't having to crowd the gas tank to ride with my arms in a relaxed position. As soon as I get a plate on the bike, I plan on racking up some miles to really get the cockpit dialed in. Only have about 40 miles on the bike so far just putting around the back streets of my neighborhood.

I did have to relocate the throttle cable along the right side of the frame to allow enough slack to move the bars up and back. Just used a rubber lined metal cable clamp under the top bolt of the rectifier to secure the cable, and ziptie to loosely secure the cable to the frame near the carburetor
