Problem is that moving the bars forward puts things out of whack for the controls on the outer parts of the bars, then the same thing has to be done out there.sgtcall wrote:I had the same issue with the stock bars. To move them forward just pull the wires out and then use a dremal to grind out he wireing holes towards the front of the bars. A 1/4 extra will move the bars 2 inches forward. I did it and have not had any issues.Herb wrote:I am 5'8" and there I would like to move the bars farther forward on mine. Trouble is that the 99 has the wiring inside the bars, this limits the bar movement. My 87 had the wiring outside the bars and I was able to push the bars forward to a much more comfortable position
Not comfortable with doing anything that might weaken the bars, cutting out holes around the bars seems to me to weaken the bars.
