Twisted Engineering carbon handlebars- Anyone have them?

[pscook]

I am looking at Twisted Engineering's carbon handlebars. For $400 you can get a complete set up with upper mounts and handguards. Anyone have experience with this set up? I searched the forums and the lovely "search feature" brings back so much noise that I couldn't find anything relevant here. I read some positive reviews on other sites, but I'm looking for other recent experiences with the bars.

Thanks!

There was some discussion http://www.gasgasrider.org/forum/sho...ght=handlebars them here......

Three club members have them and love them.

Two searchable threads can be found at Thumpertalk.

I could not find that thread anywhere! Thanks for posting it up.

Any members wish to share their experiences?

I also found these bars-

Controlled flex with a sliding cross bar. Anyone have experience with these?

Yes, I have money burning a hole in my pocket. I figure if I get something sweet for the 300 I won't be as tempted to pick up that 2003 200 in the classified.

Here is the thread I started there.

I have read that thread several times. It's been (almost) a year now, and I was wondering if anyone had a report. I'll keep digging, but if anyone has a report/review on longevity or other considerations I would love to hear it.

Surprisingly little information out in the world on these, I figured they would be more popular after the price dropped and they became more accessible.

The three club members that have them are rock riders. Dropping the bike on boulders is an every-ride occurance. No damage.

Slightly off topic, I see they say they can only be used with their hand guard system, anyone running them with the fastway fit system? Seems to be very similar type of setup

There system clamps on the ends of the bars. Instead of going on the inside the bar ends like in a typical mount. The force created to hold the bark busters would damage the bars.

I'd bet the could mount a stapped fitting inside iffin they put their mind to it.
