Thanks for the before/after pictures. I've had them on my bike for the last 5-6 years and still like them. Hope they work well for you.

 

I have the 518's and I just did a 450+ mile run with some friends and no discomfort with my wrists. These bars are one of my best upgrades, and I would highly recommend.

 

the only thing you have to change are the wiring cables
you can use the original brake line and clutchcable
on the wo518!

 

I've had the 518's on my RK for 10 years and have made many long trips. I have had zero problems with comfort regardless of the lenght of time I'm on the road. A couple of years ago, I had to make a quick emergency trip that was a bit over 1K. I did it in a little over 24 hours and wrist, arm, handlebar comfort was not an issue. The 518's are really nice, comfortable bars. The bars are wider than most and I think that helps reduce the amount of angle in your wrists. My hands are just ever so slightly bent when I'm riding. Others that have ridden my bike like them as well, although nobody except for me has ridden my bike for any real distance.

 

I just pulled up my invoice. The bars cost $202, steel braided clutch cable $37.95 and steel braided brake line kit $101.95. Five hour of labor @ $70.

 

Thanks Jim. I see theres a post here that said that you don't have to change out the clutch and brake cable. I was sure that you needed to add to the wiring for the T.B.W. I cant believe that the brake line would be long enough off the stock bars on a 09 or 10. same with the clutch cable.

 

I was moving to the steel braided cables anyway so it wasn't a big deal. I only wanted to pay for the cable install once.
