Original BSA handlebars?
« on: 14.08. 2012 19:04 »
Hello all

When I look at period photos of our beloved machines, it seems to me their handlebars have smoother curves than the ones we can buy today from the classic parts dealers. The old ones are much nicer, or am I mistaken? Do you know of a source to gentler curves?

Yes I'm inclined to agree, like the radii are too tight. I got a very nice stainless set from I think CBM(Classic British Motorcycles), but they still a bit 'sharp', when I have a chance I'll assess the radius
