My replated bars ended up too small. Bought the ones from
MG for less than I paid for the plating job. The bend
angles and directions weren't exact, but they work and
look nice.

As usual, the

laid plans, mine was being replated and the plater did
not tell his
polishing room not to remove those ugly grooves...he is
trying to find
someone that can restore the grooves but I have my
doubts. Rotating
handlebars would make an interesting ride.
