I thought about doing that. There's a cap with a hole for the bolt to go through so that it's not just a tube sticking out. But with what I've done, not sure if it lowers my posture enough, and putting ALL the spaces above just looks silly. My thing is, all the pictures I see of other FCRs, none have those spacers. So why is my bike different, and is there a way to buy a different tube, or is it permanently attached to the forks?
