Another little job on the Suzuki

Just swapped out the handlebars for ones that are correct for the later model T500. Mine had early bars with a cross brace fitted by the previous owner. The new ones are the same profile and rise but without the brace. 

New Handlebars and Mirrors Fitted

Handlebars and Mirrors fitted by the previous owner

I also fitted a new pair of mirrors as the previous ones didn't match.

The bike is a '75 T500M but has been restored with the '73 T500K paintwork, both models had the bars without the brace like I've fitted. I'm trying to make the bike look as much like a T500K as I can having already previously changed the rear lamp unit for the classic Suzuki "Dogbone" rear lamp as it had been fitted with the earlier smaller round one by the former owner. It's now looking very close to a proper T500K, I just need a rear grab rail now which was fitted to the T500K but not the T500M, thats a job for the future.
