Thanks, very interesting, didn't know they had such things. Do you mount them inboard of the perches for the brake levers? If I go with outboard bar ends (e.g., Ergon GP3's) I'll probably trim the handlebars a little narrower. Or look in a different bar all-together..... I don't want to go full cruiser/touring bar sweepback like a Jones bar, but a slightly narrower and slightly more sweepback bar would be my preference. This is my first non-MTB, mostly road riding bike with a flat bar so it will take some time to see what suits me.
