I just flipped mine because they wouldn't fit with my new arms, I haven't ridden with them yet to say how the steering gets effected though. Ive heard its worse and that you don't notice it. I would say get new arms if you can but flip them if you cant. I drilled out new holes on the opposite side and installed valve stems back wards in the original holes, if you don't the stock location stems will rub on the inside where the brakes are.
