Modifying a stock bar clamp
Does any one know if you can grind out your stock bar clamp to accept the 1 1/4" fat bars?
I ordered a set of beach bars that were made to fit the stock 1" clamp how ever when I got the bars in they were a full 1 1/4". Now I could just send them back but I have taken my bike apart ready to install the new bars and cut my old bars "long story". I have a ride this weekend for the Rilly childerns hospital and cant wait for a week to get another set and didnt want to pay for a new set of bar clamps. Any one out there ever done this???

Depending on which risers you have, it can be done, but you had better have a good drill press or mill and good 1-1/4" bit and reamer. Personally i would just buy new risers, you would be better off.
