They look great, I'll give props to a good product... best mod I have on my 09.
About to order these... any feedback about the site selling them? Reputable? Any issues? Has anyone received them yet and installed them? Feedback? Does it affect handling for the better or worse? I have a 2012 650 that im about to start making mods to.. Bars, Tail kit etc etc. Thanks in advance for the info

I haven't really seen any aftermarket exhaust for the 2012's yet. I have a '12 too so I'm in the hunt as well for mods. The only one I've seen is this one by Two Brothers.

Let me know how it looks. I'm interested in getting these bars but I want to know how it feels from the standard bars before I get them. I also want to get the tail tidy kit but I want to be able to use the factory license plate light and I'm not sure if I can with that kit. Looking forward to the pics!

Two Brothers advertises 7.5hp at the wheel with their vale black system. It its a full exhaust not a slip on. I spoke with one of them in their sales dept through email and they did tell me their 7.5hp gain is at the wheel not at the crank like so many believe. There are also systems from Akrapovic, Arrow, and Leo Vance. Akrapovic and Two Brothers are the ones actually showing how much of a gain their systems get. The other two you have to look for their dyno charts
I got the impression that the two brothers are shyte!
rivets falling out etc.

Ok so i got my sport bars a week and one day ago, i installed them last thursday and ive been meaning to post pics but havent gotten around to it, till now... here is a pic or two..
Ok so after i installed them at first i got on the bike and they felt pretty good but not much of a drastic difference( this was while the bike was still).. That night i went on a nice long ride with some friends and man! did they feel 100X better... The handling was smoother easier and felt like it all came natural..Once i hit 80mph i didnt feel the wind pounding my chest like it use to with the stock bars, the wind just flew over me smoothly. The only thing that was different was a little more pressure on my wrists since there was more weight on them since your leaning more to the front, but it shouldnt be an issue if you have correct positioning. Over all im super happy with the way they look but more satisfied with how they feel.
Thanks for this bit of info bro. I think I've just made my decision to get these. I was curious as to how they would change the ride. I like that fact that you said the wind doesn't pound your chest as hard with them on. I shall be ordering these momentarily. About how long did they take to install?Ok so after i installed them at first i got on the bike and they felt pretty good but not much of a drastic difference( this was while the bike was still)..
