I'm kicking around the idea of springing for a set of the HeliBars Horizon ST bars (http://www.helibars.com/product/new-multi-adjustable-handlebars-c14).
I know that there are at least a couple of people here that have these installed, and I'm looking for feedback on your experiences. I'm expecting largely positive, but especially interested in anything negative that you may have come across and that I should be aware of.
Any issues with the install? Did you DIY, pay a dealer/other third party, or go to one of their install events?
Any riding issues or unexpected negative handling effects?
Anything you wish they had or did but now realize that they don't?
I've currently got Murph's risers and wedges installed, but I still start feeling pain in my neck and shoulders after a couple of hours, and I'd like to not have that happen. Basically, I'm looking for someone to talk me out of getting a set. Yep, I know, it's a LOT of coin to be dropping, but if these things are as good as they seem, I'm getting comfortable with that trade-off. Better yet, she-who-must-be-obeyed has signed off on the purchase.
Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.

Make sure you spring for the longer cables. Yes, it's an extra $50 but you get both the front brake and the clutch cable, and they also include the small cable that goes from the right front caliper to the left front caliper. They look like black braided line and are far, far better looking than the cable extenders that come with the kit.
$50 for both lines? Full lines master cylinder to caliper? That's a great deal. Of course more install time... But definitely worth it.
If you read the instructions, they do not include new extended lines just their extenders.
Galfers doesn't even say they offer lines for the Concours 14. No luck their either.
Its Saturday and nobody works.
The banjo bolt only takes 2 washers. Apparently 2 are spares.
Someone who has done the install with new lines will have a better understanding of what I'm referring to.
