Im so pissed right now i ordered the new pro model and ive been sitting here trying to get the bars on for the past half hour and they dont fit. Im doing what the manual says and just trying to slide it on but it wont work. Can anyone help me out?

Well, I don't know why it was unassembled. But make sure the clamp is loose and screw the bars on. While they are off loosen up the headset too. The top bolt gets moved up first, then the bottom one needs to get into its sweet spot, so play with that. Then without turning the bottom one tighten the top on onto it. These are not the screws in the clamp, they are the two things above the headtube.

im still really confused. the part on the deck that im supposed to attach it to is threaded and the other part isnt and in the manual it says "Slide the headtube on to the threaded part" and it doesnt even fit on

just loosen the clamp, push the bars in as far as you can (about an inch) then hold the front wheel in place with you feet or some thing, then screw the bars on. when they are all the way on, stand up and line the bars up with the fork, then tighten the clamp.

Yeah it does, use brute force. I forgot that the bars are threadless at first. Try turning the bars upside down and pushing the fork down into them. The forks will cause a thread to form in the bars. The bars are aluminum which is soft.
