My kind of stuff as you know . the pan needs to not fit as well to the frame IF you are going to cover the seat with materal or leather as the fabric will need to tuck under the pan to be glued or rivited .I have some clipon handlebars that Paul Rotorbrain carried off with the three rd 350s I sold him .The bars were to be returned ,see if he still has them and will send them .Are you making rearsets as well .

We're not completely wrapping the pan, just going to have a little pad. We have decided to make our own bars now that we have a pair of Baileigh tubing benders to play with

. I initially proposed the idea of using clip-ons but the top triple-tree will be weakened severely after the two post are removed since the unit isn't solid. If time permits we will fab up some rear sets, we just need to get the heim joints and geometry right.

I talk to Tigert on occasion since his father lives in the neighborhood. Next time he visits I'll ask him for you.
