Any good bike shop can get those though the their wholesaler.
Manx type bars as called from memory, Made in UnZud too! At least they were when I was selling them.

You could try thehandlebarcompany.com they are based in Nelson, a mate got some triumph bars done and they were good, not sure if they could do what you want but worth a try. from memory the guy was very helpful and well priced.

Hehehe cool ace bars (that's what they're called, not Manx bars). They going on a CG125? Awesome :D Need to see pics once it's done :yes:

Manx was the brand name of the 'drop bars' or Ace Bars made in NZ. However they look a little different in that they are welded with a corner end rather than bit hanging on, no diff thou.

Give the bike a weird feeling as they turn in a semi-circle in front of the steering axis. Having said this I had some fitted to my old GSX250 & they vastly improved the handling by putting much needed weight on the front end of that shed of a bike.

Any bike shop should be able to get the manx range if they still make them. Think they are part of the Dold evil empire.

Also known as clubman bars.

I'm thinking about getting a pair as my clip-ons don't give a steep enough angle downwards, and that way I don't have to carve off the bar clamps on the top yoke.

I've noticed http://www.speedmotoco.com has started selling them for a decent price. I recommend these guys -- shipping from USA isn't cheap of course, but they were good to deal with for the bits I've bought.
