Re: merk's handlebar set up

I'm pretty sure they are flipped over and put on the opposite sides. I think all it really does is allow you to turn them out straighter. They have a locating pin that keeps them straight and flipping em' bypasses that. You can also just grind the pins off and turn em out that way.

Re: merk's handlebar set up

hrmm, my bike is 'streetfighter' now, maybe I'll try it out and see how it feels.. I'm sure it would hit some hardware if I had the plastics on..
