Trade - XS1B 6" extended tubes for stock length XS1B tubes

[gggGary]

decent set of 6" over tubes I want to trade for same, stock length.







I also have a nice 34mm tweak bar for the early bikes. I think the 70-71 tubes are narrower center to center than the 72 on but I can check for you.

I also have a set of XS1 6" over tubes also want to trade for stock 1970 xs1 tubes the 70 set I have has some pitting up high I haven't checked under the bellows yet.

Is that tweak bar the 2-piece type or the 1-piece clamp type?

pics O the tweek bar. should buff up REAL pretty. It's on a 70.

What's the purpose of a tweak bar?

Tweak bars are supposed to help keep extended forks from doing the twisty flopsy mopsy, stiffens them up. Unfortunately, the 2-piece types don't grip the tubes as well as the 1-piece clamp type. They also act as spring tops, as in gggGary's pic. I have the 2-piece type, need to make a better 1-piece clamp type.

I see...makes sense.
