Mostly rid of mine too. Didn't know they made one for bikes. What brand am I searching for?Pretty much ditched all my corded chargers at home too.

Yeah, the T140 bar is comfy, but I probably need that inch you’re cutting off. The XS650 stuff is obviously bigger than vintage Triumph.I already had the Virago risers on Madness for years. After the Ozarks run then 180 miles yesterday I was Jones'n for an even higher bar. While rooting about the SOIR trying to find some Norton sidecovers, I ran into a new Emgo CB750 handle bar, so off came the eurobar and on went the CB.

Only gave it a run round the country block, then a minor rotation. It moved my hands up about 2". Think it'll be a big improvement and just enough to let me stand on the pegs while riding for back relief.
You gotta do what yah gotta, to be old n still ride.
(shhh don't tell 5T I took off the euro bar)
I'd like to take about an 1" off the ends yet.
That wireless charging phone mount has held the phone for 2,000 miles now, no problem. A valve cover o-ring is a safety backup but so far no need.
While you were at it, did you add some gussets as 5T recommends to ensure it won't break again?I got home Wednesday and went to put the bike up on the center stand and the foot bar broke off*!.
Thought I'd take the stand off and weld it up but the left side pivot bolt was stripped and after wrestling it for while I cut the bolt with a grinder , got the stand off and welded it up and this arvo my new pivot bolt arrived in the post from Geoff's xs in Sydney after ordering it yesterday, cost $15 Aust . Looked at the flash ones with grease nipples but at 17 euro each plus $70 shipping think I'll stick with what I've got.
Followed sound advice on here and fitted the spring first then fitted the pivot bolts, much easier than I remember from years ago and no blood anywhere and the stand works great.

Thanks 5twins, i assumed the mentions of added gussets were referring to the stand itself and the photos in the old posts were unavailable. My bad, would have been easy to add while I had the stand off but at least now I know how to do it rightYou add a gusset to the tang, which it looks like you didn't do. It will break again, lol .....

Beauty!Just about ready for the frame:
Im up to the stage of painting the frame which means tear it all apart now that everything fits and works.
I know you are never completley done with these old bikes but at this stage I have the frame to paint, calipers to paint and motor to clean and engine cases to paint while motor is out.
Its an Aussie delivered, 6000 Klms and pulled out of a barn in the Adelaide Hills where it sat under an open shed.
