Switching handlebars

[3rdbike_imp]

Nice warm day here, so the garage was tolerable. Got started on the h/b change. Everything went smoothly, so I'll let some pix do the talking:



a plumb bob from the bar end to show the amount of pull back of stock bar.



left side controls can be split and directly removed from the bar, instead of sliding them off the end. Controls hung in place, no flopping or banging around during switch. Right side controls loose and ready to have h/b pulled out from them vs. sliding them off the end of the bar.



Look Ma, no bars!



pic to show difference in bend. Stock bar on top, Flanders on bottom. Not a fair representation tho. Stock bar tilts back quite a bit to bring grips down, Flanders bar will tip forward quite a bit to bring grips up. This will let me lean into the bars without losing much for height.

Hope to finish tomorrow. Hafta drill holes for the locating pin in the controls. I'm scheming on using the stock bar ends and my favorite CRG bar end mirror on the left, and a throttle lock mechanism on the right.
