The two of us looked through handlebar catalogs, but just looking at the dimensions didn&#8217;t give us a real sense of how it would feel. We decided to test with what we could adjust in the current setup first. So we&#8217;re keeping it at the same width as the original. We inlaid and test-fitted this too since we didn&#8217;t want it to break.<br \/>\nSorry about the rough lathe finish.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58825\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC_6734.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_6734\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/DSC_6734.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/DSC_6734-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><br \/>\nThe thick wall helps a lot.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58826\" src=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/DSC_6744.jpg\" alt=\"DSC_6744\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/DSC_6744.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.decoboco.info\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2016\/01\/DSC_6744-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><br \/>\nThe way it felt riding at the inspection station was pretty good, if you ask me.
