    What about B&B Specialties, I used to get Renthal handlebars from them in 1974, they were somewhere out west, don't remember where, pretty sure still have a catalog in the basement with all the cycle news papers.

    here is a great pic of the original Tryals Shope guys! chuck west & monkey art sanderson ... 1980 kansas city
    from Art’s fb
    My sordid past. Chuck West and I in 1980 Sidecar Trials Nationals, Kansas City. Had a lot of fun, met a lot of good (some strange) people. We rode with doctors, lawyers and an actual Indian Chief. Oh, the good ole days!

    That's 2 in 3 days for me. Very sad to hear. I rode with the McNeal's during most of the 70's.

    I hate the fact that motorcycles that I consider "Modern" are now Vintage!
    Hell the original TY 250 Yamaha is pushing 50 years old now. Beta Zero's are 30 years old.
    It is a bitch to be pushing 60.
