Thanks for the reply. Yes they are repro bars, although
they were made locally. I've had a chance to compare them
to a set of original bars and I now see the problem. They
extend straight out from the center casting rather than
turning up. That will make the difference.

Are these handlebar tubes reproduction?? Jay
Zanetti used to make reproduction tubes for
brazing to the original handlebar center. It
is possible that this is the case and that
person had them turned down too far when he
brazed them in.

I'm helping a friend assemble a 29 KJ. After
mounting the front end, we find that the bars
don't clear the gas caps when fully turned to
either side.

It's as if the front end needs to sit up a
little further into the frame, to raise the
bars about a half inch. Or the tanks are
sitting too high? Have I missed something
here? Anyone ever seen this?
