[QUOTE="SLK50, post: 279363, member: 4790"] Ok Wicked, let's take this down a notch or two, shall we. I want you take a moment and read this post carefully and think about what I'm saying before you respond. In your original post, well written and beautifully photographed I might add, you clearly show a screwdriver "prying" on the handlebar mounting "stud". Forget about the "pins" for moment, they're for locating the handlebars and maintaining the same angle between them and not the issue here. The reason you needed to"pry" on the stud is because you chose to adjust your bars one side at a time. The studs are indeed linked together below the triple clamp. If you were to loosen both handle bars at the same time ( better yet remove both screws and nuts ) then there would be no need to pry on the stud. You still have to lift the bars enough to clear the pins ( mounted in the bottom of the handle bars ) from the triple clamp. It is not necessary to "remove" the rather permanently installed pins to reposition the handlebars. I replaced my pins because I saw no benefit ( to me ) in being able to adjust the angle of the bars and felt more confident with them in place. I would have no trouble admitting I'm wrong but your original post ( and your response ) simply does not jive with my own personal experience. I sincerely hope the rest of your day goes well. Regards. [/QUOTE]
