didn't feel like searching just want an answer haha, so to use hic I need bars with a slit and a hic kit or something and a clamp. Like with the new tlc fork if my bars have a slit and i got a clamp it would work?

H.I.C. (Hidden Internal Compression):
HIC is pretty much a hidden SCS. It uses the same basic concept except that it is all inside your bars/forks where it is "hidden." All RAD and TSI bars with HIC all ready come with the HIC set and Lucky 1 3/8 HIC Bars.
You Need:
x1 1 3/8" bars (WITH SLITS)
x1 HIC set
a. HIC shimx1 threadless fork
b. compression cap
c. compression bolt
d. 1 1/8" starnut
x1 threadless headset

Threads is Separated From the Flanges on Starnut-
If your threads (small circle in middle) on your starnut separated from the flanges (metal that sticks off and bends) then you have two options. You can fix it or get a new starnut. To fix it get a welder to put and small tack weld on the edge of the threads to hold it in place. You can also get a new starnut. You either can install the new starnut above the old one or remove the old one by drilling many holes in the starnut until it is destroyed or pull up each segment of the flange until it can be removed.

I didn't know how HIC worked until I made my own compression and figured out it was just normal HIC haha

Has to be 1 1/8?? Can't just be 1.25?
Since the new district alu bars are 1 3/8 and you need an oversized clamp with them, why. Can't you use HIC with them???

I mean, can I use 1 1/4 Rewinds with HIC??

The shim has an OD of 1 1/4", so the bars need to be 1 3/8" to actually fit over the shim.

Ooohhh.. Ok thanks. I'm still using threaded forks, so I wouldn't know 
Let's say I wanted to go threadless and I want to keep my bars.. What would I have to get and do?? Besides cut the slit off...
