I personally don't think so. When I had the bar ends on my other bike, I rarely used them and if I did use them, I actually just held the corner where the grip and bar end met. I never actually held the actual bar end. The GP1 ends have the wider end, so that may end up being my equivalent of a bar end.Unless of course, I am totally wrong and end up selling a "used once" pair of GP1s to buy some GC1s LOL.
