Here's mine with twist grips.
As I'm cruising along I place my hands fully open with fingers extended and flat with the heel of my palms on the back outside curve and fingers on the front. That's a position you can't get with any other bar and is very comfortable for me.
Is there any flex on the bar when you have your hands on the section that the twist grip gear selectors are on?
