Finally got the new ones mounted.
The ones that I had fitted previously (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/CNC-50mm-C...item2ed360dee0) I chose because of the adjustments, let me down (almost literally). The bolt holding the bars at place, went loose suddenly, and luckily it was not during braking. The bar went loose and was free to pivot down, which made the driving a bit difficult...

The later ones I thought that would be better (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2715716414...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT), were a bit better, but not perfect. Again my wrist position was too sharp angle, so not good for me... Other than that, the brake lines might be difficult to get to fit well, as the clocks will be on the way(especially if they are not lowered, mine are).

So my final solution was to use old clip on frames, that I got from fellow club member here in Finland, that had broken bars. I fitted the bars from these Chinese clipons and that did the trick. There is a bit more rise on these, and the shape is so that it allows the levers to be turned to a correct position.
Unfortunately I have no idea what brand these are. What ever they are, they are going to stay on the bike...
On the left are the Chinese clipons and on the right is the unknown clipons..


So after going all this through, I might recommend to use some "quality" brand that actually fit the monster, or find some model that you have seen fitted to one. Or you might have to try several different cheap ones (like I did) and you will end up probably using the same amount of money than you would have if you bought the bit more expensive ones straight up.

If someone wants to try out either of the ones I have had in the pics, I will be happy to part with them at reasonably low cost + postage
