Spiegler sells a very expensive handlebar kit for your bike: http://www.spieglerusa.com/cfm/sbk.cfm. But if you like to be comfortable when you ride, and you live where there are lots of curves, it would be worth it.
Yeah, I'll look into that when I decide to fighter the bike.........IF it gets laid down.

This is my concern as well. If it were two clamp bolts, then I don't forsee that being a problem. To be honest.....as little as the tit is, I don't see that it could do too much. I think I may be able to just drop the bar down a little to get the tit out of the hole and then degree it how I think I want it to see what it feels like. I may not even like what it is that I think I want.
