Throttle Control and Handlebars Part 3
A lot of unanticipated work went into this assembly. The geometry of the new body halves was different enough that I had some binding of the rotor when everything was tightened down. Took some time to figure out where the rub was and fix it. I probably would have been time and money ahead to just rechrome my original parts. II still would have had to take the friction spring out, though.
Just about everything is ready to build up the handlebars. The bar itself was scratched up and had rust on it. I couldn't find a replacement set that I was sure was exactly the same as mine, so I ended up having mine rechromed. The cost was about a wash.
Used the old hairspray trick on the grips. In this case, a hoity-toity salon brand (thanks, Sweetie!).
Ready to go...
