Interesting, what yoke is it ? Or have you drilled the original? A kind of ace bars upside down effect.

Standard yoke. The risers are a single bolt mount so no mods needed.

They are indeed upside down ace bars

You can fit ESD bars to the that fit ove the top yoke.. you lose 1" of suspension travel but if you upgrade your front end anyway it won't be so saggy, so won't make any difference..

I have LOADS of ESD bars if anyone want to do it..

That’s interesting. I had thought about that before. They would certainly be more in keeping with the original aesthetic.

I’ve changed mine again to a regular shaped handlebar as the angle was annoying my wrists. But now, although the position is comfortable, I can no longer use the mirrors. The further away from the mirrors you get, the worse they become. I’d need to fit a bar end mirror just to see behind.

Original bars are no longer an option as I had a tool bag stolen which had one of the risers in it.

Anyway, could you look at cost of postage to Spain?

It wouldn't be that expensive to Spain, I'm sure..

I have several bar sets, so probably £40 including post?
