The handlebars on the Icon seem a long reach for mainly street riding so decided to lop 1 inch off each end. One inch is about the max which can be removed and still have enough straight section remaining for hand levers, switches modules etc.
Also changed mirrors to 3-inch folding bar enders. Surprisingly high quality for $19 eBay specials. Machined aluminum, all stainless hardware, fully adjustable on the fly. Good field of view and crystal clear. One problem, the slotted expansion collars were too snug for the stock bars so spun them with a cordless drill and buffed them down with 220 grit sand paper. Also cut the slots a little deeper with a hacksaw to make them slip into the bar ends more easily.
