45 bars

Picked up these bars for the 45 project. thought the package was a bit small - hadn't realised that they were half bars attached in the clamp!

I think they are shovelhead bars, with the internal throttle. As cheap as buying the bends to make a set, so these will have the chop treatment to get what i want from them (don't quite know what I'm doing yet mind you!)

Handlebar Jiggery Pokery

The handlebar clamp I got was .... well ..... a bit shagged!

The casting being the important part which was complete for the purposes of what I needed.

After consultation with Toddy he gave me the solution to how I would remake the parts, and importantly make a jig to align the bars, so i'm not making them on the piss...

Being a bit of a dunce I had to try and draw out what he suggested in words to make sure it was right. Its a lot quicker and easier than making them all and finding out I got it wrong...
