Yeah the ESIs are a bit of a pain, I do have those on the extensions/bar ins/whatever you want to call them of my Koga Denham bars not the Chunkys but still but with the odd curve and I believe a 23.9OD vs 22.2 I can understand a bit. We got them on just fine and they work a dream and as much as lock ons would be cool with the bends it wouldn't work well.
