Has anyone changed out the handlebars on a Blackhawk? I'm looking at changing the drag bars to something a bit taller and I figure I'll need risers and bars, and maybe cables and wires too. So I'm curious if any has done that and what the setup you use is as well as any problems/things to check.
Thanks

I've heard the same as well. Handling halogen bulbs in general, you do want to avoid touching the bulb with bare skin to avoid contaminating the bulb with oil from your skin. Surface contamination can damage the quartz envelope when it's heated. Contaminants will create a hot spot on the bulb surface when the lamp is turned on, ultimately weakening the bulb and even leading to explosion. It's recommended that you clean the surface with denatured alcohol, if you've touched it, and do this before you turn the bulb on.
