remade the triple clamp bolt and washer in stainless to match the axles/pivot nuts.

New bars came in and the owner is happy with them. These gold ones were $50 cheaper than black and I was going to paint them anyway to cover up the Rizoma logo. I went ahead and shortened the throttle and clutch cables, machined new ends and ferrules in stainless. Soldered with stainless specific solder and flux and its good to go.

The gold is too gaudy for this bike.
attempting to reign in my OCD... its not going well. I didn't like the black painted axle adjusters so I remade them in stainless.
