Do you have any pictures of your setup?
I have a pair of Mary bars on my Genesis, but when I tried mounting bar ends I couldn't get them to play nice with the bend in the bar.
MisterMikkel-
I'll take one tomorrow. It is a bit of an arseache and you may well lose some anodising off the bar. I had to pry the bar-end clamp slightly open with a big flat-bladed screwdriver to get it round the bend.

Get some VO Crazy Bars, sell me your Marys...

Same deal here. You have to file the bar end clamps on the inside of the bends into an hour glass shape to make em fit snug.
@umop3pisdn Dont bother trying to get control tech barends to work with hope bar plugs.. lol
Edit: its possible, but spent way too long doing ridiculous mods and filing stuff.

I stuck a pair of straight short bar-ends on an On-One Mary bar, which is set quite high. Because the bars have a big crank forward before the sweep back the bar-end point inward at about 30 degrees. It's a really nice option to have, mostly when I'm cycling into a headwind or want to tuck out of the rain. Because the handlebar is set so high the position on them is a bit like a raised aero bar.
