    easiest way to replace stock handle bars.

    I am having a hard time getting the bars off. i bought some barons and it says to remove bars from risers first then risers. how do i get to those screws. it has caps. i am also having a hard time getting the throttle off bc i need about another inch and a half to get them off. the only way i can think to do this is to remove the bars. but like i sd easier sd than done. all the cables are free. please help. i need the easiest, ideally the fastest way to do this thanks in advance

    You need to remove the tach and headlight to reach the nuts for the risors it's not asmuch of a job as it looks then unbolt them with the bars in place then wiggle the bars as you pull up and the will come right out then you'll have enough slack to pull the throttle side off without disassembling it

     Before you even try to remove your bars, TAKE OFFYOUR TANK! Like Warpig said, start removing/loosing up everything to be able to get to the bolts.  One last word of advise, put a towel on your fender so when you drop a tool or something it doesn't get dented also.

    I know the voices aren't real, but they do have some good ideas.
