how easy is it to straighten out the sweep a bit in some old bars?

got some nice v-bars but think they might have a bit too much sweep compared to what I'm used to now, gonna try and ride with them as they are once my bike is built but expecting it to feel a bit wrong

honestly couldn't say what my original v-bars were like on my old silverfox but it was a long time ago - should probably check with Nath what the era-correct sweep angle is!

Swap them for some Cee-Dubs or something instead of butchering a perfectly nice set of bars.   :)

took me a sec to work out what you meant (CW's?) but I'm afraid I'm not a fan of the CW bar - in any case it has to be a v-bar as that's what I had BITD on my silverfox. as for 'butchery' that's not going to happen, but since the bike is going to be a keeper and be ridden by me just weighing up my options  :daumenhoch:
