My name is Sam. I'm from Idaho. I am currently working on a project cafe out of a 550 vision. Where did you get the handle bars I have been looking all over for adaptable kits but the vision is a hard bike to shop for. Any advice you could offer would be great too. My email is hidden-1@live.com

Hi Sam,
I have read your comment just now , my handle bars are Tommaselli Super Sport diameter 35mm from 1980 ... here we can find it in vintage motorcycle trade show (we call it "mostrascambio") but I have seen for sale at this adress http://www.colacimoto.it/offerte_ricambi.asp ;
http://www.colacimoto.it/fotoricambi/b_manubrio%202%20pezzi%20tommaselli%20dorato.jpg .....this is equal to mine but i have brushed and eliminated gold color.
You can also see if the actual production of Domino Tommaselli is good for you , I know that you can find some reseller in the USA http://www.domino-group.com/it/catalogue/twoPieceHandleBars_List.aspx
When you have some pics about your project I'll be glad to see it ...so email me

Bye and sorry for my bad english .
