RE: CLEANING MY REAR
I just finished mine as well... I took hole bar off, cut it, milled it square, put it all back on with plugs.. Hopefully it doesnt hurt anything. My dealer has several bikes that way plus one of them is the owners bike. They said it was fine, but I can also see how it can give support too.... Now I am going to worry about it! lol

RE: CLEANING MY REAR
Looks great ~ espically when ya put a solo seat on them!
I did the same on my previous RG & immediately noticed that is was a little "mushy" in high-speed corners.
When I went to put it back to to the stock config to sell it (probably 2+ yrs later), it was all I could do to pull the rear frame rails together enough to put the bar back on.
I do like the look, but those ugly bars are functional..... keep an eye on'em.
