Title: The new rider..!
Post by: leehunt1 on May 08, 2013, 12:46 PM
This is the re chromed californian
I have put powerbend bars on, saw this done on a pro mongoose on the museum
Please give me your views on these bars on the bike..
I think they look good and they are so comfy  :D
Also put AME cams on, someone said on another thread they wouldnt stay on powerbends but they have

As long as you are comfortable riding with them mate, that's all that counts.

Is that a Tech 5 lever you got there? I would lose that for a more arched lever, and move it up to butt against the grip. You will have no pull on that thing due to the lever arm shape.

And come on man, get those grips straightened. Karma and all that  :knuppel2:

Love the black and chrome.
I'd change the grips to Ame Tris because of the powerbend on those bars.

Looks nice, I do like a cali.  I agree on the grip comments though, and imho I'd have larger pedals, but that's just me.   :daumenhoch:
