It will never break, I don't think standard ever had breaking issues, especially with the sta.

That's a nice bike.

Cheers,yep bars have been cut down a wee bit,you can still steer it though ;)That chin beard chainring gotta go though,its for a cack footed rider  ;DIts got a tank chain or something on it and needs a few links taking out to slam it,i can feel myself buying a new chain tool again soon if it destroys mine :LolLolLolLol:

Looks like someone can't measure properly.One side of the bars is shorter than the other :2gunsfiring_v1:so they'll need sorting out.Also on the lookuot for a pair of black strip bars if anyone has any :daumenhoch:

Been fiddling about with it today.Took a few links out the tank chain to slam back wheel,had to use a punch to hammer the pin out,pain in arse.De-stickered most of it,put a primo chain pull on,pegs on,chainwheel chin beard of(weighed 8oz)and gave it a good alround clean. :)

nothing wrong with left foot leading riding. Means were are special!
I bought A general lee with a nice set of volume bars on it but one side was shorter than the other. To cut them down evenly they would be 22inches :(

Post by: gary67 on July 13, 2012, 12:01 PM

Just measured mine and to cut them down even they would be a bar spinning 19 1/2 inches :idiot2: :LolLolLolLol:

Cleaned off crappy stickers mostly,pegs on,brake tweaked,new decal from Del,chin beard off ,that lost it about 7oz lol,Primo chain tensioner on,spokes tightened good to go.Should have some S&M medium lt bars to put on it when they turn up :daumenhoch:
