Handle bars for early CMF Pentons.

Definitely, and not to mention that the 71-73? bars are pretty badly bent. I imagine that he can work around that. Please keep us posted. Mike

What is wrong with the above Pic of the three pentons?

Its a reverse image, pipe and airbox lids are on the wrong side.

I think the bars in the middle are husky.

Hi guys. I'm Charlie Robinson and the one who is interested in reproducing the handlebars. One quick question, after receiving the bars I noticed the wide knurling for the bar clamps. Is it necessary to have the wide knurling pattern or would two narrow but properly spaced knurls be acceptable? All feedback is appreciated!

What ever is easiest on you in this respect. IMO.

Just my opinion but a repro should be identical in every way.

In my opinion it really depends on the expected cost to reproduce the bars. If they are relatively more affordable than the current reproductions that Parmabike sells on ebay imported from Italy, then the correct knurling is not that big of an issue, since more correct ones can be found, only not in most peoples price range. If the reproductions are costly, then the importance of the correctness becomes more of a factor. Just my 2 cents. Mike

I still say that the middle bars in the pics are Husqvarna bars or some other make, my 3 cents. LG
