I have seen the drop test video for the "enforcer" style drop bars. Can i expect the same type of protection with these? Any lean angle, or width issues? Anyone have drop reports with these on?

By "enforcer" style do you mean the beefier version of the #1400-100/110 which was in the video I posted or are you referring to another companies bars? If you're referring to the video I posted, yes, you can absolutely expect the same type of protection with the current design. The #1400-100/110's and #1400-300/310's should have absolutely no issue holding up during tip-over situations.

I haven't heard of any lean angle or width issues but if anyone has personally experienced any, please speak up! The widest part of the bike are still the mirrors so anything your mirrors can fit through, you can fit through. The ONLY issue I've heard about our bars come into play when using a cruise control mechanism that mounts to the end of the handle bars. I had one customer that said he laid his bike down at speed and because he had our bars on his bike along with the cruise control, he ran into some issue.

Apparently when the bike went down his cruise control was engaged and our bars held the bike up far enough to where the internal kill switch wasn't activated and the bike was a tad difficult to get under control. However, this seemed a bit weird to me as I've never heard of our bars interfering with the internal kill switch before and we've sold tons of these sets to people all over the world. Besides, it seems like anywhere you'd be using a cruise control wouldn't really be a typical spot to lay your bike down. Generally tip-overs happen when going through curves or at very low speed, neither situation should require cruise control. So, I'm not sure if the guy was embarrassed and embellishing his story because of it or what but that's the only complaint I've personally heard.

Anyhow, yesterday we shipped out one order to J.A. - 42441. The rest of you will be going out Monday-Wednesday next week once we receive our stuff back from the powder coaters!

The thought hasn't escaped me. More protection 'just in case' and another point to grab on to while I do the impossible and win MG's bike.

It's true that winning is more satisfying when a challenge is involved but I'm not opposed to an easy win either.

Well, more pics are always welcome, but that doesn't help my situation all that much, since although that is a silver bike, the bags and tank were painted black.

Decisions decisions....

True, but you would be able to see that the bars really don't stand out that much next to the silver. Keep in mind that the black can be touched up and the chrome can't. ( aside from a little clear fingernail polish on scratches so they don't rust on chrome).

Is that a video camera on top of their Lidar?

That is just the optical sight for the Lidar. It looks big doesn't it. I figure with the range these have, they would need to have a big optical lense.

Uh.... just too lazy

If I *did* do that, I would probably power coat them to be a medium grey, in-between the black and aluminum colors. But... too lazy.

The problem is that either choice matches about the same to me. The black has the advantage of easy touch-up, or even painting later. The chrome has the advantage that it looks a bit cooler.
