Meiggs,

Thank you.

I'm still a bit torn between these and full bend bar ends. While I do like these well enough, I think I might like the extra length to the full bend bar ends for yet another available hand position. However, that additional position would really be just a higher, farther-forward version of the original handlebar grips, so I'm not certain this will make enough of a different to warrant the cost of a new set.

But, as it is, I don't regret getting the ski bend bar ends.

I wish I could give you a more definitive answer than this, but I hope it still helps.
