Put on the DR as a result of a nasty fall....really nasty....
Fell over in my garage onto a concrete floor, landed right on the end of the bar. Pushed it up and forward, hence new bars....
I got some Sunlines, apparently as good if not better then Renthal.
Had to drill holes to attach switch blocks as the old bars had these recesses in them.
It is looking good.
I have also had the rear wheel re laced, nice job done, it is looking smart and shiney. Geez, the brakes are expensive! for old drum variety...
Had to go OEM unfortunately....
Two new Heidenaus K60 to go onto the bike, new chain and sprocket set. Barkbusters next week and this tourist is ready for whatever the South can throw at him!
I will post a couple of photos soon as it is all done....![]()
But, after 21 years, it hasn't done anything too bad, so maybe it will be okay.
Anyway, the switch blocks would eventually come loose and I didn't want to risk loose blocks etc and over tightening screws...
If it weakens the bar? I am not going to put that amount of stresses on it, I hope...
