I've got some spare 'Lyle' D shaped chrome ones in the garage that should polish up nice.

[Frankibaby7]

Oooo will they fit mine Alan

[Alan H]

Oooo will they fit mine Alan

Well, they were bought for a 550 and I ended up using some different ones that I got off a mate, sold with the 550K, he bought the same bike back and took the bars off, and I've bought them back again and they will be going on the J. (They're getting dizzy I think!)
I'll pop in the garage tomorrow and make sure they'll fit, then I'll PM you after making sure they are perfect and shiny.

550K with the 'other' crashbars on.

I had a green k in 76 I think ,it didnt have a disk ,it had a 4 or 2 leading shoe I think ,your looked nice ,to be fair I like the older gts with the gaters and the nice paint jobs ,the later ones were a bit bland ....
Cheers alan .

Happy days for me. Started with a J in '72, a K in '15, an A in '16 and hopefully another J (plus a rebuilt A!) this year.
