Just wondering if anyone has tried the givi engine bars on the new wee (2012) ... any thoughts or comments??
My only thought is that they are black which is the same colour of my bike .. don't know if the whole bike will look too black with them on

They look fine on my old style black wee. My only reservation would be if they still resonate on the new wee as they did on the old one. The problem can be largely removed but in hindsight I'd probably go for different bars.

My givi bars also resonate at around 5-6000rpm (on an "old" style '08). I suspect this might be annoying if you don't use earplugs.

It's called sikaflex or silicone, split the front connector and squeeze some in there, also stops rust
As for the OP, go for the Givis , black on black is cool
