Lose the crash bars, they're too small to do much good anyway and too shiney (had them on my Mk2)
Get a set of proper ones and blend them into the overall colour scheme along with the bash plate?
Â
Or would that be too much?
I agree about the crash bars...was gonna get them powder coated black and you're right about the size. What bars do you recommend, can never find much for the mk1??
Took my clutch lever off and left my exposed cable end hung up and "bagged" up with light oil to lube the cable after finding the clutch lever heavy and sticky.

I use Renntec ones on my 4tx but I don't know if they'd fit with the bash plate, but I'm sure the fixings are the same.
I can vouch for their effectiveness at keeping the expensive bits safe
There are a number of threads on here about Crash bars, use the search function and spend an evening going through them. :rotflmmfao:

Been trying to source Renntec bars but they seem to be as rare as rocking horse shit! I've emailed Renntec direct, just waiting on a response, you never know.

I've got a brand spankin' new set of Renntec bars, still wrapped in the box. Yours for £50 plus postage if you're interested.
