Thanks for the replies. The bars are alloy and I have a tubing cutter so, it should not be a big deal.

I will have to change my mirror. The mirycle I have mounted below the bar, will be moved inboard to the point that my leg will block my view. The pivot that the round mirror is attached to only moves up and down. It needs to be on a ball and socket. Just saw what I needed in a post here a couple days ago. One of the bar ends from peter white looks like it will work perfectly. This is actually what rekindled my interest in cutting down the bars. I may try 1 inch on the first cut and 1/2" increments after that. Will post the results.
