Default Street Fighter Apes! Questions for you owners

I saw these and fell instantly in love with the idea on my 09 SB:
http://www.carlinidesign.com/handleb...ighter-ape.php

Doesn't someone have a shot of their SB with these on?

For those that have them... question:

Do your hands slip off after a while as they are angled...seems like you have to squeeze them a bit more since you can't really rest your hands on the grips like you would on a stock SB?

Does that affect how far you can ride? I want to be able to ride 8 hours without having to have constant squeeze or am I over-emphasizing?

never seen them on a sb before, as far a riding long distance with apes I find them way more comfortable than any other bars, just check out cable prices prior to buying they can get pretty expensive, especially for braided. good luck on your search

the stock "mini apes" feel great, feels like I could ride the thing til next Tuesday. Just wanted my hands up a bit higher to punch a little more wind, the angled apes looked really neat. I thought I saw a guy here with a signature pic of his bike with the street fighter apes.

Any other companies make a handlebar with angles vice curves?
