OK, didn't like the 'feel' at original angle even though it was slightly lower and looked better (maybe?) This feels 'nice' but will have to make seat to find out if it's really going to work. That's a Honda seat, when finished seat should be half that thickness

Got to tidy up the ends where its coming through clamps, just hacked up a pair of new motocross bars. Left cable is really too short but its for CB378 with low clip on's so that's not a problem. I guess I should have moved the hammer out of camera :o)

I can adjust the angle to get them a little higher, the pullback/angle/height is about same as flat track bar. No bolt in outer clamping hole, it locates bar in clamp so I have to check I like position before cutting groove in bar
