Noise Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 WOW its lookin awesome man am so jealous heh...i've not been on here for a while as ive been pissed off with maself at failing my mod 1test recently..still awaiting another date at this time..anyway deffo great job on the bike...where did you get the bars for it i fancy a set for my wee sr as it looks like am gonna be on it for some time yet and fancy a change. cheers Dave Dont get dis-heartened on not passing your test mate! its all apart of the journey! keep going and keep calm your do it next time! I actually got the bars off of Amazon! lol they where £70 and are drilled and grooved for the cables to go through but that job will be next christmas time job, i just wanna get out and ride her now, but will sort all the little bits out first. looks brill , BUT , theirs always going to be a but, and on this occasion it's that brake fluid casing , it needs a rub down , and either chroming or matt blacking. as it's bubbling. Yer i know what your saying mate, i keep looking at it and thinking it needs doing, i may have a look at it this week if im given permission from the missus to tinker lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveye Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 cheers noise but a bit too pricey the now as i,ve been buyin loads o crap from fleabay recently lol but have however got a bid in for a set for cheap hopefully fingers crossed Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Not a drama Mate hopefully you will get them! they are a good style of bar as your not lent over too much and if you get a set of pull back risers you could even have a nice lazy sit up possion. Are the ones your bidding on drilled and grooved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveye Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 hey noise i dont think they are drilled and grooved as the description is very short other than them being in used condition they are stated as being jap fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 Ok, no worries, have you made sure that they will fit your bike? ie that they are either 1" thick or 7/8 thick? Its not a drama if they aint drilled n grooved just that if there not then you cant hid wires in them lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daveye Posted January 26, 2012 Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) eh nope lol it doesn't state if they are 1 inch or 7/8 either so ive emailed the seller and awaiting the reply just got a reply and he says standard jap...?

Noise Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Lol thats not much help as standard Jap could be any thing! the XVS 125 is 7/8 yet the XVS 650 is 1"! I would say that your 125 would be 7/8 but just to make sure id buy your self one of these http://www.amazon.co.uk/Draper-46610-Dual-Reading-Digital-Vernier/dp/B001EZ5QUO/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1327649743&sr=8-5 and get your bars mesured properly then go from there. It wont be too much drama if you buy 1" and not 7/8 as you can always buy a new set of risers that will fit to your bike and your new bars. (you may need new risers any way so that the new bars clear your tank ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderator drewpy Posted January 30, 2012 Moderator Share Posted January 30, 2012 wow. that sounds great, love the way you mounted the rear plate, maybe get a slightly smaller one ( like my tracker) and keep that for the MOT. I assume it has a light for it as it will fail otherwise! bet your dead chuffed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
