the bars look bang the same as the standard 4-pc strips i rode for years!

i think its the angle theyre set at thats making the sweep look different,

I have to be honest dan , I have had a good look at those bars and based on the crossbar height and the bends they look more like dragonfly / 4Jeri bars than standards ... are they capped at the bottom?

harris · « **Reply #27 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:23 PM »

uncapped this is they before i had an inch welded back on then painted

YGT · « **Reply #28 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:26 PM »

ahhh they are 22.2mm bars?

SaMAlex · « **Reply #29 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:26 PM »

did welding on the end caps heat the bars so much it increased the upsweep?

harris · « **Reply #30 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:27 PM »

lol its the camera i take some more when ive changed parts they rearly aint that high
and yes 22.2 all over

darkersomeday · « **Reply #31 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:28 PM »

SaMAlex · « **Reply #32 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:35 PM »

YGT · « **Reply #34 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:48 PM »

ok, they must be standards then .... all the ones I ever aw were before 2001 so they were the older versions either with 1" tubing all the way or 1" with 7/8" inserts and the angles were somewhat different on those.

darkersomeday · « **Reply #35 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:50 PM »

they must be prototypes!

ive got some nos standard 4 peice , kinda look the same

these are 1 inch over size, i guess there where a few variations.
i think these are later mid

harris · « **Reply #37 on:** October 01, 2007, 08:54 PM »

the trouble i had with some parts was actualy sourcing nos or near mint parts
crank wise i was using redline 401 single pnich with bubble script and peregrines
couldnt find a chainring so custom riders had this nos polished one cheap so banged it on.

its the oversize tubes that make them look different

the bar seems to be welded lower on the oversize ones, box looks smaller too,

no probs H

Its simply beautiful Dan - well done mate. Stunning.

showtime · « **Reply #41 on:** October 01, 2007, 09:46 PM »

nice build Dan
loving that hardcore front end, you've really done those forks justice

did it take long to get the bearing race onto them?
they had one of the thickest chrome jobs i've ever seen

harris · « **Reply #42 on:** October 01, 2007, 09:48 PM »

i had it dipped in the machine and zapped it released a few layers and the ring went on sweet

yep the chrome is thick as hell .

rarman1 · « **Reply #43 on:** October 01, 2007, 10:00 PM »

thats a wicked build dan, the green and chrome is awsome mate

like those pegs too

YGT · « **Reply #44 on:** October 01, 2007, 10:33 PM »

Here's some pic s of My 6piece standard Bars.

harris · « **Reply #46 on:** October 02, 2007, 08:01 AM »

i would have used 6 piece if some had been available but as i said i had to go with what was available.

will i actually use this ,answer is no mark ,i did have a few rolls on it to dial the brakes in but not off the drive.

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #47 on:** October 02, 2007, 08:09 AM »

lovely colour dan. looks hard as nails.

Capt Canuck · « **Reply #48 on:** October 02, 2007, 08:09 AM »

Dan!
The Bars you used look great. I wouldn't have the patience to have them fixed and repainted.
What you doing with the yellow one? Building it too?
