What is the best way to modify clubman bars to clear the fork bolts on a 76CB500

The bars just barely dont clear the fork bolts, is a dremel and patience the best way to adjust the clubman bars to fit?

Thanks guys!

Are you setting the bars in the holder and then swinging them down, or have you tried all different methods of putting them on?

^That is an excellent question.

I have been trying to put them in the clamps and then bolt them down.

Ill try bolting them into the clamps and then bolting the clamps to the fork crown.

Thanks!

Yea are def. the chrome ones onthe bottom of the first picture. Ill play with them tonight to see what I can come up with.

Thanks for the tips!

EDIT: I just got them on. It took alittle negotiating with a rubber mallet and alittle cursing at the rubber inserts but its on and looks/ feels great.
