One set I gave to Matt Patton because they didn't look to be the style I liked. The other set has sat on my workbench until today, when I took a day off to do a bit of maintenance. The new bars are a few inches wider because the stockers just didn't fit my frame. Unfortunately, the cables don't quite have enough slack to get controls back into the optimum position. They are workable, just not perfect. Then I broke a bolt tightening the clutch assembly. Looks to be fun to drill out this afternoon. Finally, a little spring popped out of the choke assembly and I can't figure out where it goes. I'm diving into the shop manuals now. The moral of this story is that even a simple bit of work can turn into an all day affair if you aren't careful. -- ___________________________________ Mike Troutman mike@XXXXXX http://www.troutman.org/ Home 703.392.1066 Cell 703.565.4801 Fax 703.392.4665 ICQ 239667121 _ _ _ _ .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-. .-.-.=\-.
