QuoteI can't see the pic, sounds like some kind of modified bark buster.
I have seen an aluminum bark buster bent in to the handlebar on a dirt bike, fingers were a mess.
Impact with a tree at 40 mph.
Those must have been installed incorrectly, I have raced enduros for years with alum barkbusters and have hit trees dead on with them at over 40mph and have never, ever had one smash in on my fingers. When you hit a tree that fast the bars get ripped from you hands and you go flying. The handle bars were trashed though and i took very hard tumbles but they never smash in even at those speeds. I would not even think of riding in the woods without them. Now putting them on a roadrace bike, i dont think they will work for them.

bargy also says you dont have to lean off of a bike...they look dangerious

No-Go on them things....Dangerous!

If your worried about contact w/ your levers, just chop them and reweld the ball to them.

Bad idea :-[
