Searching for a crash bar (title change)

[rodekyll]

The big square ones are more associated with floorboards and the diamond ones with pegs, but it's not a hard and fast thing.  Sometimes I think they just grab the next object in the bin and slap it on.

No, they come up from time to time -- you just need to watch for them.  A lot of folks think the bar makes the bike ugly and remove/sell in pristine condition, or the bike is being parted out for some reason other than a crash and the bar comes up as perfect or slightly rashed but not bent.  So it will be a crime of opportunity.

I dunno, don't some of the aircraft guys here have birds made of " rope and dope " ?

So the clever money says when I get my next check I buy the crash bar I don't want, if I can find it, to tide me over until/if I find the crash bar I want.

Normzone, these what you are looking for?

[Turin], I'm going to have to respond with a resounding...duh, mebbe ?

I'm not sure what the mounting config on that front crash bar is as compared to what my bike will take.

Great comic book loosely base on several hippies in Austin.
Freewheeling Franklin was a thinly viewed caricature of Jim Franklin an artist/illustrated who did posters for the Vulcan Gas Company (music venue) and later the Armadillo World Headquarters.  Gilbert Shelton the Freak Brother's creator worked with Jim at the Vulcan.
BTW Jim was from Galveston.

Before my time in Austin, but part of the oral history passed down to us new arrivals during the seventies.

[Turin], the floorboads look like mine before the PO recovered them in doormat secured with sheet metal screws.

Those black painted tin bits look like the chrome ones I took off and maybe still have in the closet.

So there's some definite Bassa in the batch.
