"MacGyverisms"

Making room on the bar


We bikers like to adorn our bikes with all sorts of paraphernalia. problem is, handlebars are only so big. If you're running out of room on your handlebar, here's a way you can make more on yours, compliments of Crazy6r54@webtv.net!


You'll need a 1 inch (diameter) fiberglass or aluminum rod cut to about 7 inches long. You can use an old handlebar if you don't have what I used. And 4 reflector clamps. That's seatpost reflector clamps, you understand, the two piece screw-to-tighten kind (usually plastic). Clamp them together in pairs.

Clamp 1 set to your bike's handlebar. Now repeat this to the other set. Slide the rod through the other end of clamps and tighten all bolts and nuts. You should have the rod in front of the bikes handlebars. Now you got room for lights, computers, etc...

Thanks, "Crazy", for this useful tip :-3)
