PeanuckleJive Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 I used the locks from an old pair of lock on grips when I cut mine down, clamp one on with the outside edge lined up with where you wanna cut, then rest your hacksaw blade next to it, line the other clamp up next to that loosely and clamp that one on too cut in the slot it creates, perfectly straight handlebar ends! Then round them off a bit with a smooth flat file or a bit of wet n dry paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigjames Posted March 2, 2010 Report Share Posted March 2, 2010 Get used to the wider ones? surely its worth trying them for a few weeks to see if you like them wider as they aren't the widest bars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PeanuckleJive Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 your a genius :O thats a mint idea WIN cheers mate I'm something of a perfectionist when it comes to these things I just looked at the rage bars and they look pretty narrow already, Like the others have said give em a go for a few weeks and see if you get used to then and learn to love em, last thing you wanna do is remove too much meat and wish you had wider bars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*Koxx hydroxx 2 Jack * Posted March 3, 2010 Report Share Posted March 3, 2010 Dont do this it wont work and your dad will need a new wheel for his cutter this guy speaks the truth .. copper pipe is very weak .. you can easily bend it by hand .. so its not hard to cut at all ..whereas bars have to cope with much more force and are a lot harder / stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
