I did it to mine but I had to sand them (the base bar and also the QS2 brake levers) I spent about 3 hours while watching tv!) and it fits but while I was screwing down the levers in the base bar, it cracked (you may have seen that there is a hole in the carbon just near the bent and I cut too near from that hole). Anyway, the carbon is still very solid and I raced many times like that. But it's not as a clean work as I wanted.
I wanted to know whether the seller also sanded it or if he just figured out it wouldn't work and never tried.

I was worried about the cable routing hole too......

hmmmmm mmmm

Thanks for the bump guys as the Cobra base bar (with upturns cut off) and QS2 carbon levers are still available.

As for your question, I used a file to smooth out the exterior and open up the interior of the brake lever interface (I used both QS2 and other levers). Then, I drilled new holes for the brake cable routing. The set-up on both Carbon-X and Cobra base bars were solid and I never had a problem with them. Hope that helps.

can you post of picture for me of where the cut is on the bar with relation to the cable hole? I would appreciate it!!!

Thanks!
