Early 80’s handlebar clamp

[PowerDubs_imp]

I am super bummed out.

Just had some spare time to get back to this.

Got the piece where I want it 95%

Radiused the corners which was easier said than done because of a taper from the top down all the way around.

Sanded and sanded and sanded. Especially after putting black into the letters. Very fine lines, pita.

I have spent a LOT of hours on this... sacrificed a stock clamp to grid off of, lost a clamp bolt cap too. Ugh.

Was thinking I just need one more session with the next finer grit of sand paper to match, then clear enamel.

Figured I’d throw it on the bike to see what it looked like before I do that.







I was NOT expecting it to be too wide.

There is no way around this.

Into the garbage it goes.

Will need to order a new stock clamp and bolt cap cover.

Going to pour a stiff drink.
