Hhhmm I,d say trim them if them don,t feel right .... Just as your talking about handle bars i wonder if i could slip a quick question in, Hope you don,t mind I,ve just got a Czar 07 long Mod frame and Echo SL09 forks , I,m unsure which handle bars to buy? I,ve been riding a onza t-bird long and it felt perfect, I'm wanting a similar feel to the czar , Could someone please give any advice ? I,m 5'11 if it helps . Cheers
