1) Yes
2) No
3) No, but want them
4) No, had them, didn't like them, took them off

Yes  They are on my wife's bike.  She wanted to sit up a little straighter.

Yes, the cheap way.  A set of upper handlebar holders mounted upside down under the bars with longer screws.

I don't have them on mine. I'm on the opposite end of the spectrum. I want mine LOWER.

Yes. I kept getting numb hands on long trips, and now it's much better!
I made tehm myself out of aluminium blocks (see picture)

I think Kerry still has them, but maybe he is too humble to post his pic.

I would definitely like some. My flippers are pretty short, in a normal posture my elbows are locked  which makes for painful long trips.
