    Thanks for that link Bonez,I've been trying to find out who could bend me some bars.

    You're most welcome. My bars had the rements of a MANX sticker on them. Made in Auckland N.Z. was quite clear, did a google search and WAMMO!!

    Just looked at the aftermarket bars on the CX. Ventura bars with a mild low(around 11/2" rise) bend. They'd do the job as well if mounted upside down.

    hey F5, dont worry about the courier mate, i'm racing at taupo anyways so i'll bring them with me, and get them to you then, saves some hassle. As a trade, i want one lap on the kwakka 100
    Sorry Officer - I wasn't speeding, i was qualifying...
