All-
Finally got back on here! Got real tired of having to go to topica to read
this list.
I got my handlebars back from being re-plated and I'm pretty ticked. They
look good, but not great. They have a 2 1/2" crack in them on the top of
the upper left bend(I assume the tubing seam is there). Finally, they are
too small to hold my controls tightly. I'm glad the guy only charged me 1/2
of what he paid ($40), 'cos these bars are useless now except for a wall
decoration or weapon.
Guess I learned my lesson. Will always buy new stuff from now on and keep
the old stuff for the future rat bike.
Any tips on making my controls fit tighter, until I get new bars?
Btw, are Guzzi bars exactly 7/8" or a very close metric equivelant?

Cheers! (but not very cheerful)
