Here's mine and I love them. I grew up on road bikes with drop bars, didn't like the switch to flat bars at all. These are great - even better than drops for multiple hand positions.

Unlike many people that mount the controls as far inward as possible, right at the inside edge, you'll see that I've mounted them a few inches from the bar ends. That will give you much better control (with your hands further apart) when you need it the most - under hard braking. Mounting them so far to the inside makes the steering twitchy and unstable with your hands so close together. Put them as far out as you can and still achieve a full-hand grip on the bars and you'll be almost as wide as on normal flat bars.

You may have to use a longer stem, or maybe not. Mine look like they're angled up a lot, but that's where I get the most natural hand positions. Lots of ways to dial these in.
