RS handlebar conversion in Bay Area

[Pockomoth]

Hi all,
Pockermouth,
I have done this on both 1200 and 1250RS and have found that after some hours on the first one, plus skinned knuckles, that this cuts the tierap behind the radiator. No snips or scissors can reach and then cut that I have seen.
A HOT SOLDERING IRON
Very very carefully.
Sorry that I did not notice this thread earlier.
There is the same issue on the R1200RS forum.

I saw this too late, I knew there’s a tool for what I needed to do, ‘something with a hot tip on the end of it’ note to self 100 times during that 4 hour travail.

Thank you. I wish I knew how to make videos because somebody else could have benefited from my problems (but not my problem solving, which is not a thing).

So now the bars are installed, and you know not really that much better than the Ilium Works Risers. But because I rerouted the clutch cable I think I can install a set of R type Wunderlich Bar Risers. So we will see.
