I had some. They've done alright so far. but installing them did take more work than it should for hand gaurds. I ended up mounting mine next to the perches like you said and I had to just bend the hand gaurds out some so they would clear the brake and clutch levers.

it didnt say that it said universal but im thinking they are not supposed to fit but i really like the way they look and want to use them so ima try to make them fit somehow
