Hey guys I just broke my brake handle off my 92 bandit and am replaceing it I am also going to change my bars back to a stock set the ones that are on there are very low like clips. I would like any tips that you can offer to ease this process. I have new grips and all to so anything is a help. Thanks

Changing the bars is fairly simple. Basically, take everything off the old bars and then put everything back on the new bars. Unless you're installing stock OEM bars, you'll probably need access to a drill press to drill the new bars for the left and right controls.

Personally I found the stock bars too high and have switched them to a bar without any rise. I also have a set of Katana clipons here that I'm going to install during the winter.

I use two coat rubber cement. It works well also...
