The K710 and K710SL chains have the same pins. They're not really a pain at all if you're using your chain tool correctly.

They are exactly the same "mushroomed" shape, except the SL versions are hollow.

I literally just split a 710SL chain, and it worked perfectly fine.

Leukys eager search for black Nitto bar ends lead me to Retrogression, but I don't really get what they do.
How do they work? Why use them over using the plastic ones that come with bar tape?

Anyhow from my first hand experience, I happen to have 2 sets; one from scrod and the other 2nd hand. I just want them primarily for cosmetics; they look so nice! As for installation & removal, you're literally going to have to fight them with your barehands to get them in/ out as you don't want to cheat with a tool as it is going to mar the finish (I doubt you would want that and it would totally defeats my purpose), especially with tape that has more padding; dish soap helps through but I was swearing hysterically the first time I installed them. Something about the bar taking it like a female dog.... But alls all, it goes in and stays in at the end of the day while making your cockpit look good.

It would most likely work but look a little wonky. Depending on the fork and headset being used, you may run into some snags when it comes to the bottom bearing being sealed from water and such.
I remember ddeadserious had a carbon fork with an oversized crown on his 722TS and had an issue with a visible gap between the crown race and the bottom of the headset. Hopefully he'll see this and post a pic.

The oversized crown looked totally fine on the bike the fork came on(Gravity Swift 2), just because the headset was a different shape I suppose, but it didn't look great with the rounded Techno-Glide(on my 722). I ended up painting the bare aluminum black so that the gap wasn't so noticeable and it made it look much better. Here's a photo where you can see the gap though.
