                ...............and you don't have to be an engineer to fit them, or do away with bar ends..............and they are considerably cheaper.

         +2 - cheap and good enough, I dropped the bike a handful of times and they did protect the levers very well... as for deflecting they work fine, I rode with summer gloves last winter. The only negative points are not having a metal insertion / bracket and having to trim the clutch lever a bit.
