50mm Heli bars on 41mm forks?
here is the story:
so i bought them Heli bars of a member here, but he forgot to mention that they are for CBR which front end he had on his bike. So when i received the bars, needless to say, they were bigger then the stock forks i had. At this point the guys was cool about it, and offered to pay for return shipping and refund me the $. But since i already had the one stock bar off, and i was planing on upgrading the font end anyway, there was no point on sending those bars back to the seller....so i figured i will make them work
i dont know if any one tried this "unconventional" idea, but here is what i did. i made a spacer out of PVC pipe (figured why not, as there is a PVC spacer inside the the forks) and it made a perfect fit in between fork and bar. they turn out to be really sturdy!
