Re: Upper Trim...

idk man i never flipped my tripple on my 636's i never found the need. i just hate the look of a hacked up upper, may as well run streetfighter. but idk they both look kind crappy but i guess if i had to choose id prob choose the first one...

You should try using a fine tooth hand saw, and finish up with sand paper...

I always prefer to cut off as least as possible, basically just as much as you need to get the clearance you need for you bar/lever setup...

I think the first cut is too short, and the 2nd is a little too rounded at the top...IMO I would probably go with the 2nd cut and just make it a little less pointy at the top...

Here is how I cut my friends...
