Bars

Handle Bars:




Ok, here are the bars. At the top is the assembly before everything came apart. Once it was all loosened up, everything broke down pretty easily. I'm not sure if the switches worked when it got here, but judging by the amount of dust and grime, I'd say a thorough cleaning was in order. The wire casing was pretty beat too, so I got some expandable sheathing and shrink wrap to clean them up as they are routed through the bars, which you can see in the last few pics. Some new machine screws and a little bit of elbow grease, and it's looking pretty decent as a whole I think. Also, the headlight ring was pretty knocked around, and luckily there was another one in the parts box that Carl had, which cleaned up pretty well. I think all that is left on these is some new grips, and tapping the mirror mounting hole, which is either very gunked up, or has a mirror stem sheared off in it. Oh, and the starter switch, which had a broken wire.
