many many of us have had no issue with canyon dancers.  but you'll always have one in the crowd that tightens them or finds some way to have a problem.  I've seen sport bikes with the clipons bent and it was blamed on the canyon dancers! 

there is no need to go crazy tightening them to stress anything. And the side to side motion of a vehicle, you could turn sharp enough to roll it and you shouldn't break the cast bars on the bike.

I got a pair of the canyon dancers 2, they have platic cups that slide over the ends of the bars instead of the straps tightening on the grips. Works great.

Nice!  On the old version we simply used some PVC to avoid any tension on the straps.  I guess a great product got better, enjoy!

I use a Condor mount in my trailer (toyhauler) and just use tie downs at the rear foot peg mounts. I put just enough tension to keep the back of the bike from moving side to side. This works great and you put very minimal pressure on the forks.
