I wouldn't have them unless you want to replace the levers when the bike drops. But here you go.

I have these...

Shop Acerbis Products - Uniko

I like them and they have held up in minor drops on slow tight stuff. I got them to replace the stock ones that are made of porcelin which shattered when I fell in mud (). If I were to do it again, I would probabaly go with the Acerbis Rally Pro wraparound. At the time, I wanted plug n play instead of having to drill our the barends.

I use these from Enduro Engineering. They ARE nice but don't count on them saving your levers.

It never occurred to me that my Canyon Dancers are now useless, following the install of the Mayer Handguards last week.

Handguards or fancy straps? I'd throw away the fancy straps. hahaa

What happened to a hook over the handlebars? Easy, works, and you don't need to replace your handguards!

to each his own, I use straps that the strap part rides on the bar and the hook on the end attaches back to D ring sewn onto the strap, works great and doesnt seem to mar the bars much so far, not that it matters much to me. As much as I have been dropping the bike lately, she wishes she could get by with just bar scratches!
