Nice one, cheers B. I was thinking of using it on an '80 build...although some of the components are up to '83... :) It doesn't seem that much smaller...
-
Though smaller these were the the models out before the power stems & were standard size on earlier builds.I used to have one on my Webco.It's actually the same top cap as the power stem which explains the dimple in the cap on those that were drilled out on earlier stems.

You go Mike, tell that fookin know-it-all Ashley all about the 70's as he just makes it up! Most of his bikes look like they're from the 50's - he just wants to be cool so he pretends they're from the 70's :LolLolLolLol:

Used on early Kuwahara's as said above these came out before the Suntour Power Stems :daumenhoch:
-
Bikes were still coming out with these on as late 84 at least so they had a good run too.

Nice bit of info fellas, cheers! :daumenhoch:
