Looks pretty cool so far! I think I preferred the narrow dropped bars though  |

repositioned the carb a bit,there is actually a set of old gt bmx bars on at the mo that i ike the shape of and may need to copy.
i don't like the bar that comes from the bottom of the frame to the back of the seat. the angles are all wrong,will fit seat springs approximately where they are on the photo and make anew section of frame bending towards the back of the tank.

I got my test on the 200cc version in 1976, love what you are doing there, looking foward to the finished job, and i say ace bars too, or make some clip ons out of a couple of con rods and tube beaten over the small ends.....yes really it works |
