A photo guide on replacing stock 7/8 inch Icon model handle bar with a low one.
I got this cheap $39.95 AUD X-Tech MX alloy handlebar and cross brace. I didn't like the brace so I removed it - not recommended by the bar manufacturer. Make sure u have point and a drill to install controls. Measure precisely so you don't need to drill twice and weaken the new bar. The internal diameter is smaller to your genuine end caps will not work, you can get replacement from a local shop easy. There was some effort to pull back the clutch cable so it doesn't stick out to much. The brake cable needed a few degree rotation on the reservoir bolt to coordinated with the instrument. The new bar has wider clam area, other than that it looks good. I hope this helps.
