[QUOTE="Knifemaker, post: 279517, member: 1075"] I'm with SLK50 on this one. I myself did remove the outer pin on each bar..which DOES allow the angle on the bar to be changed. I am aware of the potential safety issue, and after examining the forces at play here, am 100% confident that with one remaining pin, and the two bolts torqued properly, bar movement is only possible under impact. Changing the angle of the bars so they "swept out" a bit more made a vast improvement in wrist comfort.( i was experiencing severe pain..) The Shop manual, for those that actualy bother to get one, does say to adjust both bars at the same time. I have also done this (per the manual) and found it to be a reasonably quick and easy proceedure. I do however appreciate having some good photos of the parts in question, and do thank WW for the time and trouble of posting them. KM [/QUOTE]
