gotta say that i ran those shifters in the bars for ages on two builds but now i mount them on the DT and it's much better and cleaner. i found you kept bashing them when the bike was lent up against something.?! Downside as mentioned above, i do tend not to change gear as much because of the position now. If you do stick em in the bars, go under the tape all the way around, shifting is no different and it's a much cleaner look.
