the grips are as straight as they're getting.  because the bars are powerlite powerbends the ends kink (like in a "s" shape.)  the "kuwahara" on the other side of the grips is straight as a die  ;)

further research shows the headset decal is correct too,  well,  thats what jamies kuwahara site says anyway - some headset decals of that era had the kanji writing,  others didn't...  :)
