My muni took a bouncer down a 40' drop today (luckily I
stayed in a heap at the top). She appeared undamaged, but
the KH handle flex that I 'cured' seemed to have come back.
On closer inspection at home, I found a crack almost right
across my homemade stiffener / brake mount.
Rather than fix it I decided to spend the rest of the
morning fabricating the new handles I've been planning (and
not doing) for a while.

It's turned out nicely, and feels right. grinding uphill
pulling with both hands feels effortless. I've yet to try it
offroad, or drop it any distance, so it may end up with some
more beefing up. I'm toying with the idea of lightening the
saddle now that it doesn't need to be so stiff, by loosing
the plate and extra bolts.
One fine day I'll have to remake it in something lighter
than steel MTB handlebar...
