Both great bikes! I love that picture of you guys racing down the road! I think I'll go with the broomsticks. Finding cables for them is much easier at any rate. Cheers!

Thanks, but that was the straight stretch of a dirt track at Misawa AFB in Japan in 1968. It was their idea of a Drag Strip. My 66' CB72 Hawk against a Suzuki 250 dirt bike (and I won that one). Got another picture of me racing a CL77 Scrambler and, it was close but I didn't take that one.

Later on, Bill

Where can I get flat bars like this? What is the total lenth? How long is the center?

Thanks.

I got mine on E-Bay (just search for drag bars) for $24.00 . They work perfectly,but you have to trim about an 1 1/2 off each end. I think I trimmed mine down to 24'' They have a very,very slight
pullback.

did you get yours with pre-drilled holes?

Can you tell me the seller on eBay you got yours from?

The e-bay seller is triumphwizard. I've bought 2 pair from him.As far as the wiring slots , you will have to put those in yourself. I used my old bars as a pattern, and drilled them in a drill press, then trimmed with a small die grinder.

anyone know if clubamans require new cables? also, I've been thinking of taking the low rise bars from my parts bike and turning them towards the rider. I'm trying to overcome a bum arm that goes numb after a few miles. I have the straight bars now and its an awkward stretch. I'm thinking clubmans or the turned lowrise might cure it some by pulling the grip a bit closer to me and lowering my hands to help with bloodflow.

I might chop off my arms though
