Dresser bars

Are dresser bars a worth while investment? I haven't seen a pic of both front and rear on the bike.
Are they functional - pleasing to the eye?

Any input greatly appreciated.

They are a practical investment for me HIM. (and I think they look OK)

Without them (and highway pegs) my legs get cramped after an hour or so. Mind you, be prepared to wait if you want them. I ordered mine with the bike in early November and they still haven't arrived.

With any luck, Gel seat, dressers and long clutch cable will all arrive at the one time and I'll be able to spend more time in the saddle before wrists, bum and knees start to ache !

I have a set of the "original" factory dressers. They were quite "flimsy", but look good. I hear that the "new" ones have been re-designed and are more sturdy. No regrets.

I put front ones on my 08 R3. To me it helps the look a great deal-helps to "frame in" the radiator abd balance things out.
