yeh, but you will have to bend the actual lever it self so it dosent hit your finger, that or you could just run some uncut slam bars, thats what all the cool kids do nowadays.

theres no professional way to doit, but the way i'd doit, is heat it up with a propane torch, and then carefully, using leather work gloves, gently tap it with a hammer until its bent to where you want it. i'd do this with the lever already on the bars. you may also use pliers or a pipe to bend it, but this can leave grooves in the lever which you'll have to file off later when it cools down. and remember einstien! the shit is gonna stay HOTTTTTT for a while, dont touch it with your bare skin till it cools down!
