PLEASE BEAR IN MIND THIS ISN'T EVEN AT MOCK UP STAGE!
Just quick and dirty to see them in real life. These are wicked experimental adjustable track bars, spawed from my own desire to have another set of Yamaguchi style aero bars and a forum conversation with someone who participates in some 6 day track racing events etc..
The stem will slide via a clamp style stem and the drops will be adjustable for width and up/down angle via a quill stem style set up. They will drop slightly when making them wider but the downward angle isn't that severe and since they're track bars you don't want them too wide anyways. The inside of the aero section will house a piece of 1" fork steerer tube for the quill action to work properly..
The idea behind these bars is to test out the design, fit and comfort. I knew that if I didn't incorporate adjustability into them it would be impossible to accurately determine fit for one person, let alone multiple individuals preferences. So these are basically 'fitting' bars. If I was to make another set, they would be based off a persons adjustments and have no adjustability. Maybe the stem but probably not the drops as creating that set up is a pain in the balls, adds weight and might not perform as well under stress..
Worst case I'll toss em on a sunday fun day bike as they would make for an interesting conversation piece lol
Just made an order to Nova for some more bits and once I get my tanks refilled I'll be ready to gizzo in the shop again. If anyone in the area feels like giving me a lift to the welding supply place holler at me as my cars transmission took a dump recently :-(
