Good work you used the perfect tool! I am surprised a conduit cutter would cut handle bars! At least now they will still look like stock bars.

Great solution!! Y'know I already own such a pipe cutting tool, but the thought never occurred to me..... Instead I went the "file-the-pin-off" route, which worked out just fine for me.

Something to be said for simplicity!

Awesome bro - now I know exactly what to do.

Nice work! I had the same problem and just used a hacksaw. Go figure.

When I did the handle bar flip mod I also shaved off the nubs (technical term ) and used a pipe cutter to cut off about the same amount off the end of the handle bars as mrplease. Been happy with the results ever since (well over a year ago).

wait. what is the bar flip mod? is it where you flipped the bars where they are angled down? can you post some pics? i love that look...

Yeah, it's a cheap (actually free) alternative to clip-ons.

I was going to say click the "My bike so far..." link in my signature, but since this forum changed their format I haven't been able to edit my posts on any of the old threads.

Go here instead: http://www.hoosierhooligans.org/foru...y-bike-so-far/

Plenty of pics in that thread and links to my gallery there.

i just did the rizoma bars and billet grips last night, great look and feel but the throttle rattles on the bar a bit and is not as smooth as the original throttle sleeve due to spacing and lack of guide, small bit of binding at wide open throttle is frustrating and probably a scary kind of cruise controll. im leaving them on and will tweak a bit.....
