I guess it depends how you ride.I dont think it is a good idea,they are going to bend.What is wrong with the look of the crossbar?Check ebay,i got my tag fatbars and clamps for $60.

i dont think they would bend. im pretty sure the crossbar is there just to hold the pad.

Some bars are designed to have a crossbar and some are designed not to have one. Chances are if you buy the bars with a crossbar installed, then it is supposed to be there for stiffening purposes.

They will bend only when you put too much pressure on them, it may be on your first ride or it may never happen. If you dont like the looks of a crossbar, then quit being so cheap and buy a set of pro-tapers. http://www.protaper.com/home.html
