It's on its way from Colorado to the UK  -  be here mid/end of January and I can hardly wait!

First jobs will be to thoroughly clean it, make obvious repairs - like the rubber parts which have suffered - and then to ride it!  After that I'll start the process of really buffing it up.  I hope I won't need to do much respraying, rechroming, etc., as it looks really good unrestored.  I want to try to keep it that way.   Anyway, I'll keep you posted at irregular moments as to how it's coming along.    One thing that I'd appreciate... some info from anyone who has an original standard "flat handlebar" YDS3... could you let me have the following dimensions of the handlebar, please?     A) width of bars?  B). distance between end of bar to the bend?   C)  Distance from end of bar to the extended line if the bar was straight, ie how much the bar is bent?    Many thanks.       Barry 

Handlebars sorted... impressed with some from Indonesia of all places.  Identical to the ones I remember and appear good quality too.  Time will tell...

That's really nice Baz
