Ok, I decided to actually be "comfortable" on this bike for a change. The Woodcrafts were killing me - too low for the street IMHO, at least on the Mille. Initially, as with anything, there was some adjusting on my part due to the fairly radical change in position - much higher and WIDER.
Install took a bit longer than first estimated, but JT (my buddy, mechanic) is very meticulous and knows I am too... so every little detail was done perfectly. The machining on the pieces is incredible - a real work of art. These things are WAY adjustable !! Bars were positioned back and down since I am not very tall (5'10). Also, Spiegler clutch/brake lines were also included in the kit.
Initial feedback: MUCH MUCH MUCH better in terms of comfort and control (as a result of the comfort). No more extreme pressure on my wrists. The positioning is radically higher than the Woodcrafts that were on and about an inch or so from stock. This upgrade will allow me to ride the bike more often and for more extended periods at a time. Overall, I'm very happy with the Cycle Cat Clip Ons.
A good upgrade if you are thinking about longer saddle time and more comfort on the street. Some pics - enjoy...
