Flanders photos, K&Q, carbs etc

Someone asked me via pm to photgraph my Flanders bars - Ralph, perhaps? - and I managed to deleted his pm. Someone else asked too, so I thought I'd just post some pictures.

Definitely not the best photos anyone has ever seen, waaaay too much clutter and crap in my garage!

Nice looking bike. Is there a source for these bars and if , a model number. Were you able to use the stock cables? Thanks

Thanks.

No, you need longer cables, which makes it quite an expensive change - somewhere around $250 when all is said and done. Comfortable, though...

Are you kidding - it's so tidy! You should see almost any garage in the UK - you have so much more room!!

Tidyness such as your garage is a sign of a sick mind. The floor is even clean! The shelves are neat, a terrible example to set. How can you spend hours looking for something among such neatness, you can find things quickly. I get to say, "I know it's here somewhere", and have the joy of searching for hours.

Great bars - whose cables?

Nice bike, Oz! You've gone where I want to go with the bars. Sportster bars have been mentioned, but those Flanders had caught my eye already. Seeing them with the stock helped alot - thanks! One more thing, did you get cables from Flanders, too, or go with another custom set? How about the length of add on? BTW, if the garage was cleaner it would embarass me.

Oz...I was one of the ones (Ralph) who inquired about your handlebars. They look great. Thanks for posting the pics. This really helps to see what options are out there. Someone had suggested a handlebar sticky. That would be the best, I bet alot of us would be checking that post out, I know I would. Thanks agian Oz.

Ralph
