Are mini Skyway EZ bars smaller geometry, or just cut down ends?

Just wondering if a normal set can be cut down to suit a 16" mini build, or is this a waste of a good full set of bars? Will the geometry look all wrong?

Thanks in advance...

About an inch smaller rise I think, think they're about 26" wide as well.

i bought a set for a gt mini performer . i had to cut an inch either side if i remember rightly. compaired to a small set  of bars that you would get on a normal 16 inch bike they are defo bigger. once cut down they aint to bad to be honest . hers a pic of how they look hope it helps  :daumenhoch:
