Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

[QUOTE=magic-conch;10195652] I'm just a bit uneasy about hacksawing the risers myself. [QUOTE]

Get over it.

The absolute worst thing that can happen is you'll ruin the handlebar which will put you back to where you are now. That's not too serious.

The upside is that you'll gain confidence about working on your bike and you'll gain the satisfaction of having done it yourself. You're going to learn some stuff through the process too.

If you have any doubt about your ability, get a screw type automobile hose clamp to use as a saw guide to help you get a nice square cut. You'll be fine.
