Question Rk custom handle bars
Hello happy people, i just got me an 04 RKCu (bitchen bike). How do I remove the "bad boy backwards baseball cap bill" to expose the handle bars mounting bolts. Need to lower them a bit.

I recommend you spend the $60 and get yourself a service manual. I changed my bars out and the manual made it a simple operation.

Yep. The service manual will pretty much pay for itself the first time you use it.
