when i finally decided i wanted different bars on my 48 i set about trying to find some that fitted just right but couldn't find any that i was happy with....none seemed to have the right curve or pull back...i went through buying about 8 sets.....
finally, my old mate bob, ex-kansas city (now aussie) vietnam veteran hooked me up with a set of bars that he bought in the early 70's. i cut them and narrowed them about an inch and they fitted perfect. exactly right. exactly what i had in my mind's eye.
i gave them to my mate mark in sydney who had a mandrel bender and presto.... 10 sets in stainless.
with my original bars i cut the ends and fitted 7/8" ends so that i could fit my usual throttle and lever arrangements...ive got small girls hands....soft too...
if your thinking you might want a set email me at machineshed@bigpond.com and let me know...in the shots below...the set unwrapped is our first prototype....hence the different pullback angle...with the wrapped sets we got it exactly right....
here are those original bars fitted to my 48....im in the process of fitting a stainless set to this bike so stay tuned for a shot....
