Installed renthal bars

SO a week or 2 back I asked about installing aftermarket handle bars. I sanded all the casting marks on the stock stem and painted it black and fabricated up some covers for the throttle and start/stop housings. Heres the pics if anyone is interested:

Im glad you did that as I was thinking about the same thing. Im curious if there is a way to shorten the actual column. Mine seems to be excessivly long. I havent taken the time to check if its aluminum. If so ill just cut and weld it

What did You use to fab the caps for the control housings? what size or width bars did You use?

I used a thin piece of sheet metal and traced the the casing of the throttle housing, the start/stop housing the throttle housing are identical, just mirror imaged of each other. It was steel that I painted black, but the paint is starting to chip and rust so I have some thicker plastic that I'm going to cut and cap the housings with. The handlebars are from a cr-80. I think there about 26" wide if I remember correctly, or maybe they were 32". It was one of those 2. They seem to fit nicely. Not too wide and I like the look. I put a new handlebar pad that's white and green, matches the look of the skis colors a bit better now.
