Pro Tip - Keep the handlebars clamped to the handlebar clamps to ease the removal of the handlebar clamps.  

3. Use a 14mm Socket remove the right-hand bolt that secures the handlebar clamp to the triple tree

4. Using a 17mm socket remove the bolt and washer that was loosened in step 1.  Save the washer for installation

5. Remove the handlebar, handlebar clamps and washers.   

Note: If upgrading the handlebar, you will need to remove the switches and other controls. If only upgrading the handlebar clamps, leave the switches and controls mounted to the bar and set the bar on the tank (protect the tank) while changing out handlebar clamps.
