I don't think they do unless you have one side off a little where they mount on the handlebars.

One side of mine want to mount about a 1/4" away from the grip than the other side does and I think that may create a weird mild pull sensation to one side. I need to work on getting them even on both sides to see how it rides.

I was wandering if they were used as stabilizers, when performing tricks/balancing etc,Like in a circus or parade.Easier to control the bike when standing up on the seat?
