Compression

hello I'm wondering what type of compression I could use for my scooter that's the cheapest. I have stock razor bars, lucky LS forks and district headset.
ICS is cheapest, however it is a huge pain to tighten. It also is not that durable compared to others so I do not recommend it. However, with your current configuration, it seems to be the only compatible one. But don't take only my word, get advice from everywhere.

ICS will always work it's way loose and you have to take your front wheel off every time you want to tighten the damn thing. Do your bars have slits? I'd look into scs and just cut the slit from the bottom of your bars. You gain like and inch or so back anyway with the way they sit in the scs. You will need to put a starnut in your fork but that's heaps easier than putting one in your bars anyway.

ICS is the cheapest but its a total bitch, I could never get it to work well in my scooter. HIC is the next cheapest if you have oversized bars. SCS is the best but its also the most expensive and definitely the heaviest, especially if you're riding oversized bars in it.
 
How do I install the starburst in my bars without messing them up, and how do I get it out if I need to?

Yes my bars have slits. How will I cut them ? And what eltse do I need for SCS? Do I need a special clamp? S special headset?
