Meant MG Cycles. Mark at MG Classics is wonderful in
every sense of the word, but a they are a little too rich
for my blood. MG Cycle may be a tiny bit lesser quality
(VERY tiny if any), but that's what I could afford, so
that's what I bought.
The grooves were surprisingly left on...my controls
wouldn't fit tightly afterwards although the bars fit the
mounts tightly. I was told they came out smaller because
the way they remove the old chrome leaves little pits that
have to be sanded out before rechroming. If they'd dipped
them one or two more times, they would have been the right
size.

Anyway, you gave the reason why I wanted to avoid repros, besides that they may be missing the little hole underneath. I am used to the angle of the police bars, and I like to use original where possible. Right now I am just finding what is out there, I'll probably put a call into Mark at MG Classics sometime this week.. Regards, Ross on 8/19/02 16:20, Bill Berry at chris-@charter.net wrote:
