i don't want to take off too much to make it like 4 inches just enough so it goes behind my grab bar by like 1/2 to 1 inch

there are rivets holding that end cap on, you can see them, there are prob 4 and go all around the can, you drill those out and remove that end cap, then just cut where you want and re-rivet the end cap back on.

yea just barley, thats the reason why i cut it. i took it straight up on pavement when i had it long and it scrapped the encap all up. so i cut it just enough to make it past the bar. its past like 1/2 maybe?:confused:
