Probably should have taken a few pics "before", but I rolled my 24' RG bars forward. I couldn't take the handlebar "pullback" feeling, and loosening the handlebar clamp only gave a few degrees of forward roll. Not enough.
Laid a blanket down on the tank. Pulled the 4 bolts on the handlebar clamp. Put the handlebar in a safe configuration on the blanket. Took a pair of lineman pliers and broke off the locking pin from the top cast clamp. Then took a die grinder and CAREFULLY ground what remained of the pin flat. Voilà! The bars can roll forward without pinching wires! Torqued the hold-down clamp bolts, then loosened and adjusted both side handlebar controls (to roll the mirrors back).
A Tallboy seat and the bars rolled forward make for a comfortable ride!
Sooooo much better, and no need for apes or risers either!
