ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!
Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956
Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)
Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.
These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.
1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.
2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.
3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.
4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.
The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.
The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

It took me a little while to figure out what you were talking about. You left off one of the lock nuts on the bar length adjustment, correct?
If the male / female threads on the adjuster are a tightish fit then it's probably not an issue, but if the threads are loosish then over time they might get 'hammered' by the forces passing through the bar, and get looser, maybe. Worst concievable case would be that in the long term any aluminium thread may strip out. Ideally you don't want any movement in the threads as this will allow some movement between the towers, which is what the tower brace is there to prevent.
I'd find a machinist and have him (her) remove some length off the bar with a lathe, or you could do it yourself with a hack saw and file (making sure the end of the bar is nicely square).Regards from Oz,
John.
