So, the question that begs for an answer. Do the new bars help/feel better in slow speed/parking lot turning and twisitng ?

IMHO - They take time to get used to and whether it helps or hurts you depends upon you.
After a while, I did just fine with them, although.... If you are vertiacally challenged, I could see where you "might" have dificulty with tight partking lot turns where the bars are turned all the way.

I'm 5'8". if you look at my picture you'll see how they fits me. I took a 7000 mile trip in 3 weeks this summer with no problems. Very comfortable!

Installed them today, didn't run the wires in the bars, save that for a winter project. Everything reaches though. Very Happy with the bars.
Tried cheaping out on the grips though and got the Kury knockoffs, won't make that mistake twice. Took it for a ride and played with positioning a bit. Gotta get used to them. More comfortable for sure but turning is very different now.
