got my detail sander on these yesterday and nitromorsed around the welds this morning.as you can see by the pics,the knurled part is in really good condition.also pulled out the bars,a minstrels wrapper from1994,a drinking straw and something bought from spar.probably somebodys lunch whilst out riding :)

they have certainly done the rounds.in some places they had rusted right through but thats all gonna be sorted.took them round me mates house this afternoon.he tidyed up the ends with a pipe cutter.hes gonna cut the ends of some doner bars,then his dad is gonna TIG them back on.they will be alot longer so all i have to do is cut them back to 28".job done :daumenhoch:
