    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

I can't find anywhere to buy new handlebars and the OEM's I assume on the bike have pitted rust and I'm trying to restore this bike.

Does anyone know how to take the hand grips and accessories off the handlebars? I don't want to create more work by doing it wrong. The items that screw off like the kill switch and turn signal switches.

I want to clean the handle bars. Is there anything I can spray on the pitted rust to prevent it from regrowing as I have this condition on the inner forks as well.

Lastly, the current stock (I believe) don't have the steel grip grooves I'm use to seeing on bicycle handlebars.
 
To remove items from handlebars on this bike, loosen the screws on both the left and right switches. Don't try to remove them yet. Next, unbolt and remove the clutch/LH mirror bolts and the RH Master Cylinder/mirror handle. Lastly, loosen and remove the bolts holding the handlebar in place, then slip both sides free of the switches.
