Handlebar sizes for 500

<< < (5/9) > >>

Sesman:
The alignment pips are only on genuine original bars if I remember correctly.

Oddjob:
Not on the DS copies then Phil, you’d think DS would specify that when he ordered them.

Sesman:
Correct, certainly not on the ones they sent me.

Ted, can you post a pic of your switchgear especially from underneath to see if they’ve been altered to allow the wires to go outside the bars.

Both switches look original no sign of any file work or cutting out to my untrained eye.

As these look as thought the wiring is external might there be issues getting the wiring to fit through the holes - be nice to have the option if at some time I have to change the switches.
The 550 bars look the better option at the moment.

Trigger:
Not original 500 switches. More like 550 or 400/4  ;)
On a closer look, they are for outsize cables maybe 550K3 or 500T
