    The Handlebar King...

    Just don't talk to me about bloody handlebars... GAH! Vicki is giving me heaps about my swelling collection of not quite what I need bars and now I need to ask if anyone has some flatish old moto cross bars in steel, 7/8" (22mm)

    Rise from clamps less than 100mm but critical factor is width across the clamp area before the upsweep which needs to be about 195 + cm. 10 to 20 cm above the clamp line I need 220cm space.

    A nice renthal bar would be sweet but $160? Come on....

    My $30 pair are so close to right it hurts.... Just too tall by a smidge...

    In return I offer....

    New drag bars - (norton flats)

    Short A10 style - perfect for a GN250

    Or beer / money

    Is this better or worse than ladies collecting shoes?

    If mine go missing I know it will be you who took them

    Trust me, I'm the parts mangler and this has been considered. It's not a practical option in this case because of the intended use. Bending them down would spread them making the problem of the wiring being a tad tight worse... The handlebar company dude is going to make a pair (hopefully) but he's not brill at repling to emails and I'm impatient.... ;-)

    So - just people with handlebars to help a silly old fart out please..

    Oh - unless you want some handlebars or else they go on tard me...

    I bloody give UP on all makers of any-bloody thing to do with bloody motorbikes.... Why HAVE a fucking website if you don't answer you emails or respond in any way - isn't it a bit naff when you call them (again) at your cost and get the old 'oh yeah I saw that' line.... AAARRGGHH!

    sigh - rant mode off....

    Morale - if you want it - be prepared to bloody make it...

    Wreckers are even worse

    I gave up on the so called motorcycle handlebar makers too - I was thinking of getting a tube bender and making my own.After a couple of sets it would pay for itself....and then I could make custom bars for other people.But I sent my money to another country and imported a set.
