Helibars on 2007 Yamaha R1

Recently picked up an 07 R1 with stock clipons.  After as short as 20 minutes I could feel the fatigue setting in on my arms and wrists.  I've used Helibars on previous bikes so I knew these guys have the ability to make even sportbikes more comfortable.  Bought a set and it installed easily including the fork clamp for the oem stabilizer. 

Initial impression of the Helibars is that they don't change your riding posture very much but does reduce the severity of the oem clipon angle.  I've since completed one 6 hour and several 2-3 hour rides with the Helibars.  Every time I got off the bike I was amazed at how fine I felt.  My wrists didn't hurt at all.  I feel like I should be able to keep up with my dad (distance-wise) on his HD for our long weekend trips.  These things aren't cheap but the comfort level of my R1 is much, much better and enjoyable.  I don't have to think about how much my wrists hurt when I ride more than 20 minutes and that's worth the price of admission.
