What are the advantages to these bars?

And what do I need to install them? I know I need oversize bar clamps but what else? ( I was concerned about the clamp that holds on the front master cylinder being too small with fat bars.)

They are stronger imho, dont bend as easy. They get smaller near the mounting areas so mounting whatever is not a problem. You only need oversize clamps to mount them.

I had a set and disliked them b/c the bar bend was to straight for me.

Cool, I may invest in some.

ive heard they can cause your stem to bend on bad roll over due to the bars not bending instead..personally i'd replace bars over a new steering stem but this is just somthing i heard on here.
