StreetMachine measurement..

[garryb59]

Has anybody a tape measure and a StreetMachine handy?

I'd appreciate the knowing of the distance between tops of the
handlebars [where the bar end shifters are]. I'm currently trying to
sort out the steering on my homebuild and am slightly concerned that,
by current estimations, the bars look a bit 'wide'. Paradoxically, the
issue of turning radius is of no concern as the steering, although
underseat, is of a 'lever' type design, so I can afford to have the
bars a bit closer to the seat, but they still look to be 'sticking
out' a bit to me.

Anyway, would be useful to know.

Many thanks
Garry

What would be /really/ cool is if I asked about the same for a Trice
Monster, Roos popped out to the garage to check, found said Monster in
there, measured it and let everyone know. /And/ it was still in there
next time we looked! ;-)

Is that a squadron of flying pigs I see banking into the sun over Dundee?

Let me also remind Pete that I'm a student again now so all he can expect
for Xmas is a hand knitted scarf...
