Please give me your views on these bars on the bike..
I think they look good and they are so comfy  :D

As long as you are comfortable riding with them mate, that's all that counts.

Is that a Tech 5 lever you got there? I would lose that for a more arched lever, and move it up to butt against the grip. You will have no pull on that thing due to the lever arm shape.

And come on man, get those grips straightened. Karma and all that  :knuppel2:

Love the black and chrome.
I'd change the grips to Ame Tris because of the powerbend on those bars.

Looks nice, I do like a cali.  I agree on the grip comments though, and imho I'd have larger pedals, but that's just me.   :daumenhoch:

Nice that Lee, black cable for me and a padset, possibly ditch the lettering on the Tuffs, otherwise, spot on. :daumenhoch:
