    Today I started hacking away at my KH Handle. This is it now, but I
    hope to keep working at it over the next few days. I want it too be
    round so I can put my hand right around it.

    But I hope it doesnt make it all weird and then snap on me, if so its
    cheap to replace.

    Here are some pictures. (Bad quality)

    So what exactly are you doing there? Are you removing material from the
    front? I can't quite tell from the pictures.

    Please be careful, you could break your fingers riding with them in
    there.

    The larger you make that hole, the smaller the possibility.

    Evan Byrne modified some KH handles, removing much more material than
    you did... I put one on my muni and love it, although it does give me
    blisters if I ride trials for an extended period. I'm going to wrap it
    with some hockey tape and hopefully that'll fix it.

    From the pictures I can't really tell that you've done much... are you
    about finished with it or do you plan to cut out a lot more?

    I like the KH style handle just fine, but seeing as I have a million of
    them lying around it might be fun to tinker with....

    So far no finger-catching injuries. It seems to be a good solution and
    is nicely ambidextrous.

    Don't use hockey tape, it'll get all gooey after a while, it's quite
    nasty.

    Look for that tape they use on 10 speed bike handlebars, no idea what
    it's called. But that stuff doesn't get gooey apparently.

    Unless you like gooey grip? Then go ahead...?
