So how do you undo the circular clips holding the brake, etc cables on the handlebars?

The male part slides sideways out of the other end.

I found that with a good light and a small screwdriver
pushed into the end, it will release the end and it will open.
They are held on the barsby a small nob on the bars.
with a clip that is snapped over it.

Bust them off with a screwdriver, study them under a microscope and then buy new ones from HDL...  -Mike "I used to be able to see without glasses" |

If I do that, what part # do I use to order? Can't seem to find them on the HDL site.

Perhaps this will be more helpful than my first response...  I like to take pictures of stuff I can't see, details usually show up in the blown-up picture...   -Mike "I was at work..." |

Black wire ties are sold at most dollar stores. Not reusable, but the original neat clips are barely reusable.

I use stainless steel picture hanging wire for my braided lines. Clean look.  |

I use stainless steel picture hanging wire for my braided lines. Clean look. bingo! Exact same here. I drilled a hole at the bottom of the bar and tapped in a philipss head screw. Wrapped the wire in the middle, secured the harness, twisted the ends of the wire and then hid the end into the top. Clean look and very easy. I just wrapped the wire around the post on the bars and then postioned the cable over the top of the post. all that is seen up close is the thin wire. |

I'd like to see pictures of that! If either of you have up close pics. Or if you both post with comparisons I'd be appreciative.

I believe the OE bar clips are one-inch for all the wires that must be enclosed on the Valk bars (there are smaller sizes available).
Some time back, I found replacement clips in chrome plastic.... but I can't find them anymore. Bet they're still out there.

Thanks! I will order some to replace all my broken ones which are nearly all broken. Am I the only one that this brought a much-needed chuckle to? thanks for the giggle! Rather like "Deja Vu, all over again!".  |
