first is first, you need to bolt your t-tube, so search for that if you don't know how to do that then you can get started on this project. how to make your scooter a beast, all for about 5 to 7 dollars, so what you do is you go to a local hardware shop(i went to OSH) and search for a black pipe that will fit through the part where your stock bars went in [if its a little loose don't worry(black is better because it holds in gas and not liquid) and choose your length choose a little big and then tell them to cut it to your bar length you want but make sure to tell them that you don't want any threads, and while they are cutting the bars to your length you have to find 2 5/16 bolts(nylon nuts are better, cuz they stay on a lot longer) long enough so they can go through the circular part of the t-tube with some room to spare for the nylon bolt on it, and once you have purchased these things all for about 5 to 7 dollars then when you go home get out your drill (since this piping is so strong you need an electric one a batterie powered one will take WAY to long), what you do first is slide the pipe through where your stock bars where and measure both sides to make sure the bars have equal length on both sides then duck tape them so they stay in place, start drilling where the stock bars buttons went through (you might have to use oil to lubricate it cuz the pipe gets hot easily) and once you get through that then clean out any metal shavings. your bars are almost done. then what you do is take some scotch tape and wrap it around the place on the bars where it slides through the tube where the stock bars where to make it a snug fit, (don't worry if you go over the holes), then slide the bars through and align the holes, put the bolts through and tighten them eavenly and tighten the crap out of them. now for grips, (i've never done this with bmx grips so you will have to figure it out yourself) for foam frips you need to get some apoxy and put it on the inside of the grips and put the grip on exactly where you want it cuz those things aint going anywhere anymore the reason for this is because i told you that the pipe is ever so slightly small for them, and thats why you also why you put the tape on them, and your bars are done and ready to ride

hope this helps any suggestions just tell me, i have used these bars for about 1 whole year and they work like a charm

I nicked my bars from the tech room at my school for free, just some random rust-prone pipe.
