You want to avoid drilling anything having to do with controls if at all possible. I have used this trick and it has worked. BUT - not on apes. But it did work on some bar risers on my GS and there was a LOT of leverage

It's a cheap and easy thing to try before drilling anything.

Wus white out when I woke up. All melted before 10am. News says lots of morning vehicle accidents, roads might be salted and no rain forecast for quite a while now. But it's Minnysoda, that could change this afternoon.

Watching a short lived tv series that I've never seen anywhere else on the CWSeed channel on the Roku, free with a few ads. Seem to only have about a couple dozen with a noticeable majority of black actors. Youtube is like that, too. Don't know why that would translate into more sales, but advertising is all about money so I guess it works somehow. After this series is finished, I'll delete the channel, saying their programs don't thrill me is an understatement. Netflix has the worst garbage you can watch on tv, but at least they get an occasional show/movie I really like, just ignore the rest. Was just about to cancel their dvd part, down to just one dvd left on the list, and they came out with a few movies I'd like to see. Had over 300 dvds on the list once. No, didn't watch them all, a lot got dropped, Netflix has cleaned out a lot of the older stuff, on streaming, too. Lot of those movies were probably better than most of the new stuff.

That's what I've mostly heard it called. Handy stuff, I keep a couple rolls, fine and medium grit.
