Lord have mercy, what a difference. I took a dogleg left and right turn at 60 on the way home from having the M030 bars installed and that little sucker din NOT lean at all. For the cost from Sunset out in Oregon, $235.00 including shipping for both bars and $170.00 installation, I would say that this is the most bang for your buck handling wise. I kept my 17" wheels and stock strut/spring set up and you can really feel the difference. Highly recommended if you like fast corners. What a difference a mm makes.
Down side is I found I really need a set of rear tires and I had not provided for that in the budget so some adjustments have to be made financial wise.
