    Has anybody a tape measure and a StreetMachine handy?

    I'd appreciate the knowing of the distance between tops of the
    handlebars [where the bar end shifters are]. I'm currently trying to
    sort out the steering on my homebuild and am slightly concerned that,
    by current estimations, the bars look a bit 'wide'. Paradoxically, the
    issue of turning radius is of no concern as the steering, although
    underseat, is of a 'lever' type design, so I can afford to have the
    bars a bit closer to the seat, but they still look to be 'sticking
    out' a bit to me.

    Anyway, would be useful to know.

    Many thanks
    Garry

    What would be /really/ cool is if I asked about the same for a Trice
    Monster, Roos popped out to the garage to check, found said Monster in
    there, measured it and let everyone know. /And/ it was still in there
    next time we looked! ;-)

    Is that a squadron of flying pigs I see banking into the sun over Dundee?

    Let me also remind Pete that I'm a student again now so all he can expect
    for Xmas is a hand knitted scarf... :-)
