Chopping bar width. Easiest & cheapest...

[Hellcat]

What do I need?

Hacksaw? (& a vice?)

Or will it be easier / cheaper to take it to a bodyshop / metal workers to do it 5 mins?

Cheers

what width are you cutting down to?

[Betty]

Leave the bars on the bike and use a hacksaw, takes no time at all

Top tip: Take the grips off   

[brummie]

what bars are they
maybe someone with chopped bars after a trade etc

[Hellcat]

Bars are Fly in metallic orange 28 inch, looking to cut 1 inch off.

They a bit scuffed up, but very light.

  Betty, can see that would work.

Try them before you give them the chop, 28" wide is spot on

Ok will do. Guess I have to fit them before hacksawing.

Ok. Will def swap & give em a go before cutting.

I've used a plumbers pipe cutter from B&Q a few times. Takes abit longer but I think it gives a neater finish. Only problem I've come across is that you have to file the inner part of the tube where the bar end goes.
