I liked the position on the U08 better. It was a little farther out on the curve. I think a lot depends on where on the bars you ride most of the time. The trick with using road leavers on moustache bars is both having enough travel and being parallel to your grip area. I think riding moustache bars is an acquired feel and getting them to feel right is a bit fiddly. When I started riding after many years of not riding they felt much safer to me than drop bars. Now everything I have is drops.
