Road and Track does not often feature motorcycles, I guess they made an exception!
look to be pretty standard bar ends. In most cases you just cut the ends of the grips, put in the bar end and tighten up. Most bar ends have a bolt that when turned, tightens a nut that expands a metal clamp (only thing I can think of to describe it) to the inside of the bar. Nothing special
If this bike gets on the Vintagent, I'll surely be unsubscribing to that blog - no offense
I know Paul is a man of his word, now lets see if you are? By the way, offense taken and please eat those words TYP181R90, whoever you are.
I am a man of my word, it doesn't really hurt too much to click unsubscribe. My name's Dominic, been a member of the club for 5 years now. I'm 29, married, and a father, you can contact me by pm or via my blog, I'm not hiding. Still not going to eat my words, like I said before the Vintagent has been a blog about the rare and unattainable, your bike was very well made and restored, but is neither rare or unattainable.
While your contributions to the club have been glamour shots, posting links to the builder's blog, and shopping your purchased bike around, I've been helping cseltz fix the carbs on his R90 and his throttle, helping Roguetek with his clutch question, and giving Katcon my experience with a tank sealer. When you stop shopping your bike to magazines and blogs and have nothing left to post I have a feeling we won't be seeing you much around here anymore, but I'll still be here contributing to the club and the BMW family.
I've just been informed that the Aermacchi I personally built is going to be featured in a magazine. Other than my primitive blog, I haven't publicized the build at all, but a magazine found it and wanted to feature it. I'm proud of my work and didn't expect or intend for it to be featured in anything, and don't need someone else to reinforce how I feel about my own work (I actually built the bike for my daughter so she could learn how to wrench and ride). Now that it is you won't see me on every Aermacchi forum posting posed pics of myself along with links to the mag articles.
When I'm in the garage helping my daughter adjust valves or grease steering head bearings on a bike I built for her, I'll be thinking about how you questioned the way my parents raised me, but don't worry I'm not going to ask you to eat your words.
Good luck with the bike Shane, may it be featured on every magazine in the world!
Kurt - PM me if I crossed the line

Kurt - PM me if I crossed the line
If ? I may butt in here briefly....I do not know if you've crossed any line? Not my place to say anyway. But I do think you were a bit harsh on Shane. As I see it ? It is two different approaches to owning motorcycles. {I} look at it this way. If Shane had not 'promoted' it as he did ?...{I} perhaps would not have been privileged to see a beautiful motorcycle , and the superb work done by Josh. So ! for that I thank them !...as I enjoyed the Video, pictures, and the story.
If I may inject an opinion here ? I think for Josh it truly was a labor of love...VERY nicely done. I think for Shane...he's proud & grateful to be the owner of [both] beauties. And I think both guys are somewhat in awe as to how they formed a friendship, over a common bond of things mechanical....pretty neat !
As for you & you builds ? I wish you would go to the effort of showing & sharing those as well. Being a-bit selfish here....because chances are I would enjoy them as well.
You sound like a talented guy, good parent...and proud parent of an extraordinary daughter .....be proud !! Show us...
Hoping you guys can shake hands on this & accept that you have different ways, & put it behind you.
