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?

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

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.

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

no probs H

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

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

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?
