I want to buy a Pro-Taper handlebar - because the OEM part is a wet noodle
it was offered to me at a very good price, an offer hard to ignore
It's the ATV bend variety so it has a higher bend and rise with the SE style crossbar

two questions:
1. Will the high ATV bend cause flex in the bars? I like the higher bend because it negates the need for risers
2. Do I HAVE to cut off the original grips and fit new ones or is there a way to slip them off undamaged?

thanks

BTW - I already checked, the cables should reach ok
