They are interesting bars on that Monster. They remind me of the bars we called 'ace' bars in the late '70s and '80s. Here they are on my RD250 and KH400. Yes... they were not very practical but we were all stupid 17 year olds and wanted to be Barry Sheene.

"ace" bars, Sure that's the right spelling? On this side of the pond they were clubmans. Real men like Freddie, Eddie, and Wayne used and bent superbike bars to steer- superbikes .
If you are tall the ace/clubman style bars should be good on the open road and a pain in town. Some wind protection with superbike bars would be....
IMO- Let the Hardly Abelson guys worry about looks and style- set it up so it works for you and ride the foooooooo.. out of it

I machined 6mm off my risers to get the bars a bit lower.
