kdw712:
the bars should havea flat end to the cross bar
you have to get that to the opening in the goose neck slide it through
and carry on by to the end of the bars - i thinks !

is that possible ? it been a few years.

Frosty:
Yup sounds right, you'll have to remove the bolt and prise open the clamp, I always found it more difficult to get the bloody bends in the bars through - good luck

theRuler:
i always wondered why they had that flat spot

i thought thats what i should do but i couldnt see how it would get around the bends. i think i will leave the bars attached to the stem, and just clean up and paint as a unit

Coastvl:
i just done some for my minigoose. They do go through quite easily. Dont try it after a few pints though. :tickedoff:
