I like the look of those telefix profi bars on pacojoseph's bike and might put a set of them on my shopping list soon.
+1 on this. Always liked his bars.

I just got a new Husqvarna 42" cut 20hp .... 2 can holders!! and it's an automatic !!!

Grass is fun now!!! , as Pete would say !!!....LOL
Lmao!
Nice rig, tho. I just sprang an oil leak on mine. Looks like may be the head, but I haven't pulled it apart yet. Kept topping the oil off to get the yard done. You gotta love the sound of a splash motor low on oil. lol..
I'm gonna blow it up next weekend for sure.
I have a 16hp twin waiting to go in, tho. Gotta measure it up and slap it in. Fun fun.

Dam! You were right about them being really long.
I bet that makes you feel uncomfortable!

Thanks for the pics Mark. There's a heap of rise on those...should be real comfy. Do they have locating lugs and, if so, do they line up ok?

locating lugs : you mean the dimples for the controls .....nope have to be
drilled in ! .......had to do same with other ones I put on the 1990 ....easy
task ........just the drinking comes after the drilling for obvious reasons
ie. a little Sunday morning shakes if you try one before the other ain't such
a smart idea lol

Trying to decide weather to leave 'em long or shorten in to stock length
Think I'll try 'em long to start as you can't lengthen a short bar ...........
well in most cases that is lol hee hee hee

No mate, I mean the ones off the bottom of the cast clamps that go on the tubes. The ones on my vfr bars don't line up so I just made the bolts very tight. I didn't cut 'em off so I can sell the bars easier later.

As for that last bit of your post; I believe it is possible but the surgery doesn't sound real nice .
