Good control from the center position?
Did you take the grips/ shifters/ brakes off to get them in place?
I was inspired to do the antler thing (and the stem bag/sound system) by this post:

Control from center position is fine, except for hair-pin cornering at any speed. There's something about the physics of having your hands in the center position that doesn't allow for sharp cornering at higher speeds. The first time I discovered this I almost crashed. On the straightaways, though, it is really nice to have those extra hand positions.
I did take the grips and shifters off to install the middle bar ends. Haven't yet reinstalled the grips

Come November, I might avoid riding in heavily wooded areas in order not to provoke a challenge from some whitetail buck.
